Come Wander Along with Me...

I wander...it is simply what I do.  Since I was a young girl, my parent's tried everything to keep me close to home, going to such  measures as to buy me goats.  Though I loved my goats, my heart still  wandered.  

Growing up in rural New Jersey, I was surrounded by dense woods and long stretches of farm land to fuel my imagination.   I felt at home in the arms of the forest and spent many days laying upon the fragrant mossy soil staring up through the filter of leaves... watching the light dance.  It is these experiences that I work to remember.

In adulthood, I discovered the joy of capturing those precious moments, through my camera's lens.  Though the many years in between my youth and the present, I have enjoyed many wonderful adventures and am currently wandering in another people's land.  For the past 10 years I have had the pleasure of living in Europe and learning to look at life in a very different way.   

Through my images and my wanderings, I hope you will enjoy seeing the world around you... in a new way.

So...I invite you to "Come Wander Along with Me..."

Wet Plate Sunday’s Sitting

Sunday, June 20, 2010 at 1:52pm Posted in Living in Europe

We had a great day of shooting today….spent the morning in the fields racing against the weather. I am happy to report that we are able to now set up and get to work in under 15 minutes using the Landy mobile darkroom.

In the afternoon one of my husbands co-workers came by for a sitting. We shot both medium format Rolleiflex Black and Whites and also Collodion Wet Plate. My husband was having such great results with the Ambrotypes that I just sat back, styled the shoots and watched the magic.

I can’t wait to share some of his portraits with you. Mitchell our model was over joyed to have some amazing photos to send his Dad for Father’s day.

Happy Father’s Day to all those amazing Dad’s out there…like mine. He always believed I could do anything. Thank you Dad.
