Family celebrations
Happy Mother's Day to my terrific mom and to all the mothers who do their best for their children!
On Monday, my beautiful mom will be 80 years young! Sadly, David and I are missing the family birthday celebrations.
Happily, my daughter Jordana is there and the gifts we sent from the Netherlands arrived in time for the big event(s).
Today, May 11th is my dad's 83rd birthday! We're all so pleased that after a rocky couple of months following surgery, he's back to his normal, active self.
Wishing the happiest of birthdays to both my amazing parents!

Twelve.
Twelve years later and we're still dancing! Today David and I happily celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary. A wee bit of champagne may be involved, along with vintage French wine and boeuf bourgignon.
"We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person." - W. Somerset Maugham

The Naked Eye
I am thrilled to report that my photography is included in Charles Saatchi's latest book The Naked Eye!
Saatchi is a well-known art collector and the founder and owner of the Saatchi Gallery in London. For many years, he has encouraged and promoted the work of contemporary British artists, including Damien Hirst and Tracey Emim.
The BBC named Saatchi as one of 60 'New Elizabethans' who have most influenced the past 60 years.
The Naked Eye features essays based on documentary images that have not been manipulated in any manner.
In November 2012, I was approached about including my photography in The Naked Eye. It's so nice to finally hold the book in my hands!
P.S. My photography also has been published in The Secret Language of Color by Joann Eckstut and Arielle Eckstut! The book explores the fascinating ways that color influences our lives.
