this sky has had me chasing rainbows lately. fat ones, skinny ones, little ones and faint ones. they halt the rain, slice through the clouds, play hide-and-seek and trigger double-takes on the highway. the other day i drove the slow lane all the way to work so i could take one in, freeze its colors in my mind. this is what you do when you see rainbows.

2) the love: portraits of family and friends. little stories, quotes, reflections of them and me and what we are.
3) up above: in portland i hardly looked at the sky. i didn’t want to. the grey taunted me day after day. here, i wake up and want to race toward the window and say HELLOOOOO! to the sun, tie a thank you note to a shiny red balloon and release it into the air. the blue, it is clear and vast and bright and loyal and it is screaming for my camera’s attention.
4) self-portrait: given how heavy my camera feels, how short my limbs are and how limited my upper-body strength is, this might be a tall order. but i’m going to try to experiment with different elements like light, wind, water and reflection.
5) words: that tickle my tongue and make me pucker my lips; that slip and linger and beg to be said again. photos of words because of the way they look, the way they sound, what they represent or how they make me feel.
