-

i love shooting this kind of work.

-

JANE SMITHERS - my mother keeps creating, and i keep learning . . .

-

my mother returned from africa,

and shared these pictures with me.

-

i don't know how to describe it,

but i am constantly fascinated by her.

-

she paints oils with a palette knife,

and taught herself,

now showing in galleries everywhere.

-

she sketches and watercolors some of the most beautiful images

in her journals

i've ever seen.

it's like glimpsing someone's inner eye,

her flash of insight into WHY this,

not THAT.

-

then she shows me these:

-

-

photography?

now she's into photography!

-

-

-

seriously?

did she POSE THEM LIKE THAT?

-

-

this woman has always been about re-invention.

BESOS - or, why the people you choose to keep in your life should be the ones that make you feel like THIS :

-

granted,

they can get a little "handsy" with each other,

but these people are the ones who believed in me,

or saw something in me i didn't see in myself,

and for the past three years

(3 YEARS!)

have worked tirelessly at my side.

-

-

this one random night out,

i looked around that table 

and saw

my "ladies in red",

my "bang",

my manacop,

and my man.

-

they've worked for free on jobs,

they've brought new ideas and new possibilities to the table,

they've kept my spirits up . . .

-

find your people, people.

-

in the end, they're the only reason we ever succeed,

but more importantly,

they're the only reason we're ever happy.

-

it never felt like labor with them,

which i think is the whole point,

and how i want to live the rest of this life.

-

besos,

babies.
