wandering through the quiet streets of alcudia, i spotted a man standing by his door. intrigued by the rustic entrance, i asked if i could photograph it. little did i know, this simple request would lead to a spontaneous portrait session inside his home. he revealed himself to be a painter and writer, living without the convenience of the internet or a mobile phone. the conversation flowed, and as he posed with the chessboard, i promised him a print of this portrait. in return, he said he would paint me. sometimes, photography opens doors to more than just images â it connects people in ways you can't predict.
this is mark fearnley — someone whose work shaped the way i see lines, rhythm, and light on the street. he’s inspired countless photographers to look deeper, to shoot slower, and to embrace the poetry of everyday geometry. getting the chance to step behind the lens and capture him in this quiet moment was something special. a simple frame, but a meaningful one. proud to have taken this.

The welcoming
Of painter and photographer
Mi casa es su casa
there are few people whose work speaks with such clarity — line, tone, texture — all distilled into moments of urban stillness. mark’s photography taught me a lot about how to see, but meeting him in person reminded me just as much about presence. confident, sharp, but grounded. getting the chance to capture these moments of him — mid-thought, mid-gesture — was something i’ll always be proud of.
as part of the Art in the Eastside billboard project. This in turn is part of the Festival at Queens. It's the biggest outdoor exhibition in Ireland and the 50 images were selected from over 500 national and international submissions. I'm very pleased to see this up. This years theme was Green.
This image is comprised of 150 corner blocks of pallets from 9 different bonfire sites in Belfast. I set the camera to macro and 1:1 square framing and took no more than 3 photographs of each block. This image took around 12 hours to create in photoshop and the original file is near 1.5gb!
Sunday after church I asked my husband to take me to the rose garden for some photography. The roses were not in bloom yet, but there were violets and other small flowers around. Well, the infernal wind is back so I just could not get any good shots with petals swirling around! I was just about to get in the car when I saw the cemetery next door, framed by the fleur-de-lis fence. I quick snapped off a shot, too lazy to get closer (which is what I would normally do). I'm so glad I took this from a distance. Used the Aged Photo preset in Lighroom which seemed to capture the mood I was after.
This is the oldest Cemetery in Dallas County. Keenan Cemetery was established on November 11, 1843, when Thomas and Sarah Keenan, two of the area's first settlers, buried their infant son John Keenan. The Cemetery contains approximately 3 acres and has three Texas State Historical Markers.
The oldest grave in the Cemetery is that of John Keenan, who was born Sep 3, 1843 and died on Nov 11, 1843. The three oldest persons buried in the Cemetery are John Witt, born 1780, Elisha Fyke, born 1792, and Elder David Myers, born 1797.
Also buried in the Cemetery are military veterans of every War from the War of 1812 through the Vietnam conflict, including both Union and Confederate veterans of the Civil War.

Update 2/21/11: A special friend outside of Flickr suggested I crop the right side a little more, so I did. He was right--it looks better! Thanks, GW.
The Families Beyond Conflict group went to Ossian's Grave at Lubitavish in the Glen's of Antrim - we read the poetry of John Hewitt while we were there and made paintings.

Mock up of the poster I've made for the Creative Exchange organization. It's printed on silver matte paper.

Another week flew by and I realized I didn't have my photo of the week. Went for another butterfly shot; this time trying to focus more on the face. I cropped the photo down to emphasize the features and called it a day. Taken at Gussie Field Watterworth Park in Farmers Branch, TX.

Sorry I have not been on here very much. Will try to catch up on streams tomorrow evening. (I hope!)

A gentleman around the corner has the most beautiful Oakleaf Hydrangea bush this year. He considers it a nuisance and invited me to cut all the blooms I wanted. I cut several carefully from all over the bush so its beauty could still be enjoyed by all who drive by. Now they have turned mostly pink, and I check them out every time I pass!
