Does your tail flip on a Tuesday?
… - is the sky blue on a sunny day? Of course!

I promised to release my individual shots of Dave Dell and I’s NM mermaids of Elements! This day was a doozy for me. It was my first organized group shoot , and let me tell you it’s not easy ! I had two of the set elements cancel on me- one a few days prior and the other the day of . But guess what? The universe always favors a stubborn heart! And I still got to flip my fin back ! 🥂 cheers to all the beautiful ladies that flipped fin next to me !

I know why the Caged Bird Sings
….
For it always sings of Freedom.

Caged Bird
BY MAYA ANGELOU
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.

…..

The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.

A Mohawk signifies nonconformity .
The feathers of a peacock are deep rooted in character : integrity, respect, honor , regrowth, dignity, beauty, knowledge & last but not least Royalty.

The first time I experienced a peacock up close was a visit to Chihuahua, Chihuahua Mexico.. first Time I also found that they could fly.. slightly !

….🍎 Did you know when a male spreads his feathers it’s his mating call? Now you do !

It’s difficult to find women in our community who wish each other well and truly mean it! I’m glad I created this group of women who support one another and it’s a beautiful thing..
The location was magnificent , it even began to rain a bit … what’s a mermaid without her water ?

“The Meeting”

A small 1920’s photo film strip directed by 📸 Josh Gabbard
Coming soon ......
starring Christopher Chaves : The Gentleman
Tanya Elyse : “muse”
& Justin Scott as Bartender . 🥂

This particular photo was inspired by a double canvassing painting that I own , where the elegant female and male are parted by the canvas split but meet up to create an excellent landscape portrait of interpretation by me paints , “The Meeting” between two lovers . I loved it so darn much I just had to recreate it in my work ! Let me tell you... it’s spot on!

Falling Slowly ... into the hole by accident.

It is in the hole where we find who we have been and who we have become. Someone we don’t like?
Seek changes - deliberate choices.
And when the looking glass is what we reach - it’s a decision rather than an accident: to look at who we are and are we content with the reflection we see therein?

Reaching for the light ..while falling into the darkness . Stay calm , Stay afloat and always keep curiosity at core .

My very first underwater shoot was a success!

Her success is not your failure :
When two women support each other beautiful things may occur.

I first met Paige a few years ago at the first group photoshoot I was invited to. The person whom invited me didn’t speak one word to me. However I met two very lovely ladies that did. The first being Stephanie Ortega , a tall and inspiring young lady whom just won Mexicana Universal . The second was this gem/actress Paige, whom also just reopened her Puppy Shop Transfurrmations in Farmington, NM ! Both are still driven and I’m always glad to meet supportive women— it’s a dog eat dog world out here !
