it was a class on self portraits. inspiring proof of being here. right now. in this moment.
not waiting for a good hair day or to loose weight.
embracing the moment. believing you are enough in this very moment. we looked at details. our roots and wings (what grounds us and what causes us to fly). looking at your reflection. whimsy moments. at arms length. eye contact.

Eye contact
what i learned is the importance of sharing a back story. looking at the details of a tired momma, having a heavy heart. capturing and sharing the hard days. being grounded in my sneakers, when life feels like the currents of a stream. jumping and laughing on a motel bed (i highly recommend you try this at least once. that and hula hooping in the parking lot... i loved the looks on strangers faces when i was carrying my hoop). reflecting on a beautiful sunny day in the window of an abandoned gas station. finding groovy benches at a cemetery made out of skis. pulling off the side of a road to snap a shot... squinting through the light of a warm summers day. making eye contact with the momma eyes which carry around luggage because sleep can sometimes be a foreign concept. falling in love with my camera again. inspired to tell my tale...
