You've seen the before, here is the after.

What can I say, I posted photo's I took 23 years ago, here are a couple of more recent photos. The hairstyle has changed, but the beauty shines through. You may have seen her on "Untold stories of the ER" (she's a certified paramedic), "Touched by an Angel" (she's an angel herself), or even at the Egyptian Theatre in Park City, Ut. as "Babe" (she certainly is) in "Crimes of the Heart." Of course she has many other credits to her name, and is going to bust upon the scene again. She'll be in the Seattle theaters for a while honing her skills on stage. She has been writing and may be directing again also.

Here she is on YouTube

This story starts long ago, but technology fell short.

Then again, some people say the "old way" is the best way. The photos you see here were taken on film in the 1985 - 1986 era and recently digitized. Some of them have appeared elsewhere, although the copyright remains mine. I will include some of the posts appearing on Facebook.



The Classic Pose ie: Bad Girl






A small rant about Actors, Authors, Dancers and Photographers, and about the whole creative process, the motivation, the research, the choreography and the composition, I realize it is hard work with a little luck (and run-on sentences) that make the dream, the quest, the move and the shot come true for the artist inside.

If I could add the poetry that touched my heart, the comedy that makes me laugh, the film that makes me cry, and the paintings that bedazzle the eye, the story should be told that reaches into my soul, but alas, it is not mine to tell, I have but one chapter, one piece, that is mine, I hold it dearly, for it is the foundation of a love and a life...

You know you're a Redneck with P.E.T.A.

You know you're in redneck country, when you see this sign next to the main road and there are no protesters standing around it, and there is no graffiti.

By the way, I joined P.E.T.A. on Facebook (People Eating Tasty Animals) :)

Working on Sticks and Bricks in Idaho

Okay, I'm working in the back yard at my mothers house in Idaho, killing weeds and wasps. I hear a chittering sound and look around, lo and behold, I've got an observer watching me and commenting on my lack of motivation. Sitting up on the power pole is this little guy, calmly eating a walnut and making comments. I finish up in the back yard and go to the front.....

And I get followed, this guy is like a supervisor, a micro-manager at that, reminds of some people at work. He's up in the tree watching me intently, as I walk around the tree for fun, he follows, keeping me in sight. This is one of three squirrels that play in the yard, sometimes they are playing tag, sometimes wrestling, and always looking for the next bite.
