Not Just My Reality

 

Are You Blinded?

 

I Want to Get Lost

 

My shadow

Driving down the highway

as the sun did rise

Watching my shadow

as the miles pass by

One step ahead

this shadow of me

feels like life

is taking a back seat.

If I am patient

things will change

the shadow will eventually

be where I am.

When its caught up

my shadow to me

Maybe life will make sense

and I will be at peace

Sticktight

This young gentleman I met in Las Vegas and photographed in Kingman iis an amazing artist and he is Sticktight.  Long blonde hair, great smile and enough Southern charm to make your grandma swoon.  Oh wait, I am a grandma. lol

To say I feel blessed is an understatement.   I have met so many amazingly talented people who are also down to earth and truly inspirational.  Sticktight is the epitome of a Southern gentleman with a smooth voice, great style and an infectious personality.  This Summer, Kentucky will be on my list to visit so I can see this talent in action

Inspiration

Let me tell you a little story.....About 4 years ago I met this group, the Mickey Utley Band.  The first year hanging out with the band when they made the West Coast shows in Vegas and Laughlin, I was very shy and introverted.  One night, it was like my mind just opened up to the wonder of information that was flowing through me.  It had to do with the lead singer, Mickey Utley.  This man pushed me so far out of my comfort zone that I found myself writing again and driven to learn more about my trade, I finally felt  like I had a story to tell with my Photography.

This Southern gentleman has a heart of gold and smooth voice, he knows what people want to hear.   The connection he makes with each of his fans is incredible and inspiring.  Drawing inspiration from how we worked together during shoots and interviews, I started flourishing.  For the first time since my husband died, I felt that I would actually be OK now.  My confidence grew and my admiration for Mickey and his entire band grew as well.  Friendships were made and I adore them all. 

This picture here says so much to me.  When working I felt encouraged and like I was part of the team.  This is Mickey's charm, his ability to speak to you and entertain you with his amazing voice.  True Southern gentleman. 

This is Mickey Utley of the Mickey Utley Band.

Glorious Smiles

From the very first shoot with these two, it was apparent that talent and beauty were mixed in with intelligence and drive.  Both these young ladies are the most fun to work with and their youthful exuberance was infectious.  Each shoot, they strive to be the best they can be and it pushes me to perfect my trade.  Looking forward to many more shoots with these twins!

Be the Light

Be the light in someone's darkness. We are all going through a lot right now, let's support each other. This is a good test for human character and faith, let's not be a disappointment. 

Beautiful and Athletic

This lovely senior is on track for graduation a year early.  Not only is she incredibly smart and beautiful, but loves softball.   You go Madi!

So this poem, or song, whatever I change it into eventually is not because of anything happening to me or my own. It is just something for anyone who has suffered a loss or anyone who is in tune with the universe and has a connection with it.
