Flickr family!! I locked myself out of my account and just got back in...hello! It's April. I've never gone so long in my entire photo career without posting here. It's been sad.

 

Here's a catch-up of my year so far.

 

January I went to India for a couple of weeks to teach self-expression workshops to survivors of human trafficking. It was a great trip where I got to go to a huge wedding (where I stayed awake for 38 hours celebrating!) and even got to teach a group of 10-11 year old gals.

 

In February I bunkered in at home mostly and organized a 10-city tour! I'm coming to London, Seattle, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, NYC, Toronto, Vancouver and Melbourne.

 

In addition to those cities, I have other jobs to do abroad, so I'm also visiting Florence, Rome, Coventry, Wellington, and Queenstown!

 

Did I mention this is all in 6 weeks?

 

I've also been creating a brand new exhibition that debuts in NYC on June 13. I'm sending my images in to get proofed today! It has taken a lot of energy out of me to do all of this.

 

I also just got back from 10 days in Greece where we celebrated the graduation of The Light Space students. TLS is a photography school that I co-founded that teaches photograph as a life skill to underprivileged communities. Our program in Greece aids unaccompanied minor refugees.

 

I'll write more later, but for now, here is the first image I took this year when it snowed on New Year's Day. It feels like a lifetime ago, but also just like a blink away.

 

Xoxo, how are you??

OK. So I got tired of monochromatic skies. Thought some clouds might look good so I added some.

Our cities offer lovely and colorful images in a mix of buildings, advertising, sky.. and.. seagulls

I went into this session with high hopes but very low expectations. I knew the fire would consume the grass quickly, leaving scant time to compose and shoot. Lighting, poses, smoke density and wind drift, personal safety, not to mention core creativity, all had to come together in a matter of minutes. No pressure here; the ultimate spontaneity.

 

I was hoping for a sort of deranged Drew Barrymore look from the film Firestarter. What I did not expect was a series of images where Jill appears calm, serene, and utterly indifferent to the inferno rising behind her. Here she seems to float on wings of fire in striking contact to the white dress. It's like a clash of elements. The subtext is one of female empowerment and self assurance. A wonderful dichotomy of drama and beauty.

Hand held at 1/15th of a second and ISO 1600 ... I'm amazed I got this shot at all.
