After awhile it comes down to a question of life choices not a choice between you/or her this sea town/or that bruising city but about putting one foot in front of the other and ending up somewhere that looks like home. -Cherrie Moraga This is one of my favorite quotes. It helps me understand why, [...]

I’m a bit behind in returning mail. Big surprise. Life often supersedes postcard making. Well, postcard sending at least. I still make as often as I can. It centers me after a day of crisis calls at work. Right now, I am taking an online class with Jane Davies on text and image in collage. [...]

My father is visiting from the East Coast of the U.S. On Saturday, we visited Steamboat Rock in Central Washington. Isn’t it amazing? I’ve been wanting to see it for long while now. I’ve been making as usual. I sent a bunch out today. I’ll post some eventually.

I love my partner. Our last day in British Columbia, the day we were heading back, she took the long way home and did all of the driving all so that I could ride the ferry across Kootenay Lake. The last time I crossed this lake by ferry was a few years ago after I [...]

I have so many images that I want to share from our trip. On the second day, we decided to visit Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park. Our 16 km drive up a dirt road began with this sign. After making it up, we were greeted with this porcupine warning. Thankfully, there was a good supply of [...]

We just returned from a few days north of the border. It was good to get away. I needed it. I will share photos and experiences in sections. This is a photo that I took our first full day in Canada. It’s a view of the West Arm of Kootenay Lake from Kokanee Creek Provincial [...]

I haven’t been blogging much. Or being visually creative. I went to the East Coast one week and weekend to visit the padres. Then last weekend I was at the annual CSTI conference in Portland, Oregon which will be AMP, Activists Mobilizing for Power, next year. I think the highlight for me was going to [...]
more looking than making

Not much making for the last two weeks. I am sure breaks can be positive. Causes you to archive images and reflections that you come across. To remind yourself over and over again to remember them if they have impressed you so much. Sometimes I think that I work too much without reflecting, and so [...]

I was on the East Coast this week along with the heat. I tried to see a bit of art while I was there. My father, step mother, and I went to the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, Connecticut. It’s a gem of a museum. I liked almost everything on exhibit mostly because it [...]
