Stand Here
When I was in the fourth grade my teacher used to leave a photo on our desk each morning and our job was to write a one-paragraph story about that photo. The pictures were straightforward and childlike: a bunny, a cup and saucer, a sled.
As an adult I became a professional writer publishing in books and magazines. When I hit a dry-spell in my writing, I turned to photography—creating pictures that stirred my own imagination and reignited my personal creativity.
Michael Goldman wrote in a poem,
“When the Muse comes
She doesn’t tell you to write; /
She says get up for a minute,
I’ve something to show you,
stand here.”
~ As quoted by Annie Dillard in her book, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
In this series of colorful, evocative images, I entice the viewer into these real spaces hoping that I can inspire them to create their own stories.
