SOMETIMES I INSPIRE MYSELF...

...is that wrong?

1. My very own Glockenspiel!!, 2. reflection of silver trees, 3. St. Paul's Ave. Garden Gnomes, 4. 2005 822, 5. Door of Glass shop on Van Duzer, 6. Alice Austen House: Isadora Duncan Dance Troupe, 7. <3..., 8. At the playground, 9. Something's Hiding In Here Booth!!

I like to take pictures.

To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.

What is inspiring you this holiday season?

Side note: We had our first snow yesterday--large fluffy flakes that turned to sludge but left a nice dusting over the landscape--just the right ingredients to make me want to stay in all day and soak up some seasonal energy! xoxo
