Focus On Life: Week One Self Portrait

 Week One: Self Portrait



I captured 
                this photo
                              on the way to Easter Dinner
        years ago
                                I'm the one
        wearing jewelry
                                my first handcrafted earrings


NOW


Sometimes
       you see me 
in a chair
       sometimes
flying 
       sometimes
behind the camera
       the one I love
for taking
       light & beauty
without edits
       naturally 
that crazy camcorder
        simply

does it all
