...my brother and I always play chess - and he has yet to win. He is by no means a pushover, but I try to stay sharp.
After we finished playing I decided to play with my photographing the chess board. I used my f/1.4 50mm USM for this exercise...
This was in Horton Plaza in Downtown on the bottom floor..not sure if the chess setup is still there or not
the carrillons at bicentennial mall, which from this angle look like giant chess pieces.

I spent the day cleaning up my ginormous Lightroom catalogue, and stumbled across this early experiment! Thank god for post-processing...

The beginning of the Summer Olympics in Bejing, 8/8/08. And just another day in my house as my little brother challenged my older sister to a game of chess. My parents got this marble chess set in Mexico a few years back - I love the interesting shapes of the pieces and the gorgeous grays and pinks of the stone.
Taken in the Coronation Gardens this morning.These giant sandstone and stone chess pieces have been there for over 25 years,and they've never been vandalised.That's quite amazing in this day and age.

Part of a series dealing with cancer, specifically following women in the balding stage due to chemotherapy. This series deals with the radical acceptance and courage in dealing with and overcoming fears--little or big (losing hair, the stripping of our "identity" physically and emotionally, vulnerability, the deeper fear of nonexistence, impermanence, the unknown, etc.). this series is less about death, and more about life, living it to the fullest while we can. My art is hugely inspired by the spiritual poet Rumi, as a child watching my mom battle (and unfortunately lose) to cancer, and the many stories I have researched/witnessed and heard from/of women battling cancer and facing their fears. Cancer and the possibility of a shorter life can really put all the other little fears to a halt and I admire that understanding--that it is obtainable without ever personally experiencing cancer/illness. This is an ongoing series as I am also learning and working through many of my fears in the process of painting these women and growing from doing so.

I tried to get my husband to sit with them for this pic... he'd fit right in! But he knew what I was up to, and vehemently declined.

A really nice chess-set in Dover Castle was on display and whilst of the pieces did not seem entirely happy, the King seemed pretty pleased with himself!
