What ‘Home’ Looks Like

Well, better late than never I suppose! I missed my monthly group project for March on ‘Home’ but I am here now. What is home for me? My Family and the space we share. It’s those in between moments of the day to day that fill my heart. It’s watching what joy in the simple things these girls find. It’s me too, finding that joy through them.

Messy fun with Easter egg dying.

It’s not about what’s inside for her. It’s about how it comes together.

My daughter’s first kindergarten performance at her amazing school. What glee we find in these simple things.

January 2013: What Winter Looks Like

Here is my first installation of a personal collection of work for 2013. This project, “what_ looks like” is a collaboration with a crew of photographers who love life behind the lens. We will work individually, but we will share a common theme each month. The first month is Winter. This set is a day in the life of winter at my home. Mostly, it’s about being together and letting our creativity shine during the long dark days. I hope you will enjoy them!

There’s a pretty special set up next with Monika in Rockland County, New York. http://www.mephotographia.com/?p=4487
