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..."

Last weekend we had the pleasure of photographing Herman Vandecauter, Classical Musician. While setting up the shoot I was inspired by the abundantly blooming Cherry trees in my back garden and proposed to Herman that he sit with his Ukulele in the tree for an Ambrotype portrait. Due to time constraints, my husband and I...

This is Starting to Become a Habit

Saturday, March 6, 2010 at 11:02am Posted in Antique Cameras, Experiments, Large Format, Living in Europe, Observations

Yesterday we had to do a bit of shopping and boy were we shocked when we got the bill.  The problem I believe was we were seeing everything in a new way.  The way of the Wet Plate Process.  It was like we were speaking a secret language, I even noticed a man trying to...
