light
sometimes i can't sleep and all i think about is photography. totally obsessed i know. i needed a creative fix and so here you go. a couple of things i have been contemplating and can't stop thinking about..... i remember my high school art teacher getting all emotional about light. he was one of the teachers i look back on and think about as shaping my life. he never gave up on me when i'm sure he wanted to. he pushed me and kept me painting. i'm sure he knew i would never become a master painter but he treated me like i would. i wish he could see me now and how i have grown and taken to heart his teachings about light and used them in a different form of art that consumes me. i never knew i could be so enthralled with light and how it works and what i like about it, how to use it, how i use it. it especially speaks to me when i photograph my children. i have never painted my children but their photographs bring me to tears.

Julie, This beautiful face and the faces of the other two bring me to tears too, but I love seeing them every day. I'm so happy that you add pic every day.
When do you have time to do the dishes and other such important tasks like laundry???
How great that you understand priorities. I wish I had.
I'm totally understand the obsession!
She is beautiful! You are so cute. Are you talking about Mr Cushing? How come I didn't get that same support from him?!! :) Not sure how all artistic ability skipped right on past me. You are amazing!
And sometimes..the lack of light can bring you to tears too! Just knowing the potential that could be there if only there was more light. (Do I feel the inspiration for a RS Lesson here :)
Julie you really have a true gift for what you do. You have beautiful kids and they are so lucky that their mom is so talented! I just love looking at your blog page with all your incredible talent splashed all over it. Maybe one day we can get our kidlets together once again. It sometimes feels like yesterday when Calvin and Emmy were just babies :) Sure miss your smiling face.
