One thrilling thing to me about being in another country is noticing the similarities among me and others, not only the differences. These images are about ‘just going about a day’. What I find interesting, even special, is someone else’s everyday. We all read news, use transit, see the sunset — but my ability to see the beauty in these everyday activities is so heightened when I travel.

I leave for India for 2 weeks this Sunday. My heart is fluttering with excitement & anticipation. I’ve prepared as much as I could - new photo backpack, a 35mm lens investment, lots of film to shoot slowly. I hope to make work that reflects my long and complicated relationship to a country that’s half who I am and so little of how I live.

2012 was a fantastic year, I was able to:



·      TRAVEL MORE Nevada, Minnesota, California, New York, Wisconsin

·      SHOOT FILM with a beautiful gently used mamiya

·      SEE A MUSICAL and be the youngest person there

·      DOCUMENT MY FAMILY especially the newest members

·      MEET MORE CREATIVES that inspire me everyday. 

·      VOLUNTEER and make more time for others

·      GO TO CONCERTS outdoor, indoor, loud and soft.

·      FALL IN LOVE and believe in love.

·      BAKE even just a little &

·      RUN A HALF MARATHON for two and half hours !!!

 

In 2013 I hope to:

 

·      GET STRONGER with the help of a personal trainer

·      READ MORE printed materials — things that aren’t blogs

·      MAKE A PHOTO ESSAY in India or elsewhere

·      WRITE SOMETHING EVERY WEEK and reflect more to remember

·      HANG PHOTOS in our home, of our loved ones

·      LEARN from an expert, be unafraid to admit when I don’t know

·      SAY THANK YOU and make others aware of their greatness

·      VISIT MORE GALLERIES and get inspired off the web

·      GET A LIBRARY CARD and borrow more photo books

·      TRY A NEW PHYSICAL CHALLENGE by doing a mini triathalon
