On an early evening in Autumn I got the pleasure of collaborating with the endlessly talented @GabyPossible on capturing this work of art.
If you’d like to learn how to make your very own fantasy purse check out her DIY Book Purse Project!
For this shoot we drew inspiration from one of our other favorite books, The Secret Garden…
No matter the time of year, we can always fall into our favorite books and find a welcome landing.
I had the absolute pleasure of spending the afternoon with @djsherock and her beloved Malliha!
It was truly inspiring to get to share in their deep love for each other, even just for an afternoon.

So I’ve been developing Shivering Snivels in many ways, one of which was through workshops hosted by the philanthropic production company, Imaginese. While most members pay dues, I worked out an arrangement with them for a membership in exchange for event photography! These amazing and inspiring artists devote their time to teaching and mentoring public school students in the Los Angles, when they are not developing their own impressive productions.
This week they hosted a filmmaker’s Expo where they previewed their writers humorous and poignant work for industry artists. A night filled with laughter and great constructive critiques!
And it was my pleasure to photograph the fun-filled event.
In an effort to expand my documentary/educational portfolio I’ve been working on some great slides to be used by the Aquarium of The Pacific, or any educational center.
Hope you enjoy these “fun facts”
So beside the degree in filmmaking I’m about to receive, and the children’s book I’m publishing in Fall 2016, I have a (not so) secret dream of working for National Geographic.

Out of all my artistic pursuits, I consider this closest to my “Hobby”
There is no pressure to build a sustainable career, or brand. Maybe one day I’ll be paid by researchers or non-profit organizations, but so long as I have a camera I will continue to study and “capture” this amazing planet.

Sadly, having a camera is not always assured, lol. So, the whole idea is a work in progress.
But, even a working artist needs to find a hobby that relaxes them, that gives them the sense of accomplishment — without the stress of achievement…

…And a chance to be a little cheeky!
As you can tell by the URL, I started this blog back when I was a photographer. And while I have been lately focused with more literal narratives, I will always love to take pictures. Thanks to the Shivering Snivels campaign and my Shadow Backers, I was able to invest in a smart phone recently (finally!).
My phone feels very smart!
So you will all be happy to know I will be picking up photography not just as employment anymore, but as a hobby too!
