Our Creative Truth \\ Week 3

“Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke . . . She will need her sisterhood.”― Gloria Steinem

This began as a quick thought: What if women stopped being exclusive and competitive and instead focused on what we have in common.

This whole experience has completely blown me away. So many different voices, all from completely different corners of our planet, weaving together such a gorgeous tapestry of truth and togetherness.

Double-Exposed

Saw this link on the DEFINE School forum on how to make multiple-exposure images in a digital camera and I decided to play. That's important, I think. To always stay playful.

We leave for the road in a week. We announce our exciting new business this month. But today, it's all about this.  

Our Creative Truth \\ Week 2

“Stories have to be told or they die, and when they die, we can't remember who we are or why we're here.”Sue Monk Kidd, The Secret Life of Bees

 

We are from all corners of the world and on completely different journeys.

But here, in this little pocket of the internet, we kind of hold hands and declare that We. Are. Enough. Right where we are.

The tones don't match. The subjects aren't consistent.  Some of us are professional photographers. Some of us use our phones.

It doesn't matter. The threads of courage and resiliency that hold our hearts together are strong; and true.
