My kids

Inspired by AVS I wrangled together a spattering of images from some kids I have photographed recently. I hope I am creating images that capture the essence of this fleeting time.. the sweetness and the struggle to find a path... the joy in the little things, berries in the summer, soggy leaves in the fall, a new coat or simply a sunny day. Documentary in its softest form.

An inspiring project.

Little friends

The beach clean-up was a huge success. We had wonderful images from around the world sent in to Aurora. I edited around 2000 images from the day!

I camped out at the beach the night before in order to arrive close to sunrise at Ft Stevens State Beach in N. Oregon. A beautiful beach with actually not alot of trash. I think Americans are doing a better job at keeping our beaches clean than in the past...at least in Oregon. It is seriously sad to see any trash on our beaches tho! Here is a little friend I met on the early morning beach... Nice little surprise.
