Muse

What is my photographic muse? As a big fan of waterfalls you’d think that would be my answer but they’re “few and far between” in the flatlands of Florida. A close second is the sky and this you can find anywhere. I love the sky, clouds, changes in color. I will even get up at crazy hours to photograph a beautiful sunset.

Photography 101: Home

I have lived all over the United States and have called most states home at one time or another and I have lived in five of them for several years at a time:

• I was born in Augusta, GA and lived there several times.
• Grew up on Cape Cod, Mass and if I had to call one place home this would be it as so many of my family memories are so closely tied with this place.
• I lived and had my daughters in Dallas, TX.
• I spent most of my adult life in Indiana always wishing to be elsewhere, Florida in particular. I never adjusted to being land locked.
• Now I reside in the state I’ve called home in my heart before I even moved here – yes it’s Florida. I can’t imagine living anywhere else.

As for the other 43 states I’ve lived in (excluding HI & AK) I lived in each for a weekend, a week or even a month or more. For two years I lived in a minivan/camper which I called home. So whatever state that campervan was in I was at home. You will find more on this adventure at my Jubilee Journey blog under the “My Jubilee Journey Journal” category.

But the one thing that stands out when I think about what home is are the three people in this photo below because without them there is no home. Home truly is where the heart is.
