"A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know."

While at the Palm Springs Photo Festival earlier this year, I was able to spend some time with the remarkably humorous photo icon, Duane Michals, who's known for his terrific photo-sequences and narratives. 
He gave an assignment to share a secret in photographic form. I used the photo-booth at Ace Hotel and shared more than one secret.

Majestic Maine

Just flew back from the most delicious trip to Maine!
The first part of my journey was bookmaking with a group of beautiful, soulful women led by the marvelous Cig Harvey who shared so much love and knowledge. I am really excited and anxious to put my new skills to work. I will share one of my hand-made books and conceptual promo pieces soon.

My feet and their first encounter with Fall in New England. It was so gorgeous I got teary-eyed as I walked through blankets of various colored leaves and mushrooms!
Strolling along the Eagle Lake Carriage Road & Bridge in Acadia National Park
As expected the trees were stunning.
I visited a thrift store while there and found this great framed piece of a baby crying which I thought would be perfect for my There's No Other Like Your Mother series.
Here's an outtake from that self-portrait session.
I definitely plan on returning next year.
