Hello 2019!
Here we are, nearly a week into the New Year. Do you still have
your holiday decorations up? Or are you the type that had them put away
on Dec 26? We traveled to Seattle to visit with two of Eric’s daughters,
so we only put up the lights, which we’ll keep up a little longer.

Did you get your Santa Girl Card*? Did you remember to look at the
back? We’ve heard from many of you. The reactions are great! Thank you!

2018 was a year of challenges and wins: there was lots of photography. LOTS! Some highlights include work with the Audubon Society of Portland, The Feral Cat Coalition’s
Fur Ball, and the Association of Moving Image Archivist. I worked with
some Vikings and Shield Maidens, and had my first Portland art show,
featuring my St. Johns Bridge Series.
I’ve met some amazing and wonderful people, families entrepreneurs and
creatives. I also started a personal project to photograph The Greatest Generation (here
is a link to a description of these men and women, an excerpt from Tom
Brokaw’s book of the same name). I consider them to be a treasured part
of our culture, so I’m making portraits. Sadly, I learned in
October that 2018 was to be the final year for the Joshua Tree National
Park Art Festival. I was involved twenty-three of the twenty-six years
of its run. We
worked hard, went through good times and bad, all the while keeping a
positive and creative outlook to support the place that we love. I’ll miss my friends in the desert. And to end on a happier note, the trip to NYC was the pinnacle of 2019. Here’s a recap of 2018.
