Fling 2019

I am a storyteller and my camera is the tool I use to share the human story. I am honored to share the stories of my clients. My other professional love is the opportunities I have received to give back to my beautiful community. This weekend was the Fort Greene Park Fling Event #fgpfling2019 to benefit the Fort Greene Park Conservancy. I have lived in the Fort Greene area all my life. I have seen and experienced our continual evolution. We are truly a diverse community with a plethora of creative folks who have invested their talents to the growth, nurturing and well being of Fort Greene and the surrounding areas.

“We are Community”
— Ron Foster


Here are images I captured to tell the story of the benefit.

Thankful Thursday: Listen to Create

I find when taking on a new client, it’s important to take the time to listen. I am asked, what is the most important skill needed to be a photographer? I always will reply, it’s the skill of listening. I have found that it is a skill in constant and continual development.

Phototherapy Wednesday: Two Before the Falls
Phototherapy Wednesday: Two Before the Falls

I remember the day I photographed the base of Skogafoss. It was a very wet experience for me. The closer I got to the inlet carved out by the waterfall, the stronger was the windswept mist. I remember within 5 minutes of entering the area, I was drenched. However, my visit was worth every drop of mist that fell upon me. The power of nature is so good for the mind-body and soul. Get out and enjoy.

2020 The Year Through My Lens
2020 The Year Through My Lens

When 2020 began, I could not possibly conceive of the world we are now living in today. Neither could I have imagined that my camera would be a tool used to share the changing tides of a nation. From a global pandemic to an awakening of social injustice, I found a need to capture images that would visually tell our story of the historic time we are living through. I wanted future generations to have tangible visual evidence of the road that we are now traveling down.

Phototherapy Wednesday: Eyjafjallajökull A Volcanic Hike
Phototherapy Wednesday: Eyjafjallajökull A Volcanic Hike

I stood in awe of the spectacular views. However, I must say it was one of the most challenging hikes of my life. There were steep sections to climb and distant walks across ice sheets. I was surprised by the fluctuations of the temperatures, and the periods of being pelted by ice and then the rain. In between all the weather changes, there were moments of beautiful sun and blue skies.
