but these are some of the keepers from 2009.



Hope you enjoy the show.

Stunning Meri! You present such a variety of subject matter, style, composition. I would be SO proud of all of those. I do love them all but I always lean toward the ones that take the concrete and interpret it as abstract. Great work.

Fantastic show and pics! I'm still trying to organize and upload more of 2009 to Flickr. Now you have reminded me why I should! Love your "eye" for images.

I remember many years ago in college taking a photography class with a great teacher. Much to the despair of those of us who had inherited a Leica and were there, or so we thought, to learn how to used it, he made us take our first shots with a Brownie. Seriously. He said it wasn't the camera, it was the eyes of the soul that captured time in a piece of film.

These are the best examples I have seen of his theory lately. Great show and all of them keepers without a doubt.

OMG. My eyes usually overdosed when I saw your work one at a time...a slide show like this and I'll never recover. I either have to start looking harder through the lens of my own camera or simply throw it away. You are the goddess of light!

A Girl and Her Dog

Image
It's Sepia Saturday again. Since my dear mother is recovering  from shoulder replacement surgery, I thought I'd feature her image this week. This is little Betty with her dog Spot. She was born in a small town in Oregon, the third of four sisters. The Depression defined her childhood, though I don't know how much she knew or understood. Her high school years were spent in the shadow of World War Two. She went to college at a time when women sought an "MRS." degree. She had a lovely singing voice and often performed  as the vocalist for weddings and funerals. I remember once when I was really little that she was on television in Indianapolis. She worked in the library at Butler University, putting Hubby through school, so to speak. She worked on and off through my childhood, when working mothers were somewhat odd and not at all normative. It wasn't a matter of personal choice as much as necessity, because her husband's ministerial salary couldn'...
