POLAROID.

Sometimes what you intend as a draft becomes a final product. This was a test shot with Polaroid camera, we just wanted to see how the light played, but it created something wonderful.

In the days before digital cameras, we had to test environments to see how they would look on film. Film takes time to develop, it has to be taken off site to a dark room. We would use Polaroid cameras with instant film to get an instant check on the light and environment, the way musicians tap a mic for sound check.

THE MOON OVER THE ADRIATIC SEA.

ODISSI.

Odissi is one of the seven forms of classical Indian dance.

RADIANCE.

A moment when the sunlight caressed me and told me everything would be okay.

PASSENGER.

Leaving a vacation to come back to life, bringing the joy from rest and recovery with me.

MY SISTER, THE TREE.

SANCTUARY.

During a spiritual retreat in India, there were occasional trips to town from the ashram (“sanctuary”). Living in the ashram was a communal experience, we spent time in prayer, contemplation, yoga and maintaining the environment.
