Typical street scene. Trunk Road, Chennai, South India

The India of today with remnants of yesterday… Yes, that really is a cow on the main road. And he will probably be there all day and the next. In the very same spot. Right amongst the passersby, in front of the merchant’s sign advertising cell phones and internet.
Fisherman at Sunset

Fisherman at Sunset

This beautiful image of local fisherman returning home at the end of the day was captured through the window of a houseboat while traveling on the backwater canals of Kerala, Southern India.
Underbelly. A moment in time….

Underbelly. A moment in time….

I had been watching the activities of the ducks in the pond for some time, camera at the ready, when the egret came flying through. It’s as if one is trying not to look up under a young lady’s skirt-shades of Marilyn standing above the street vent-exposed yet graceful, embarrassed yet intrigued, innocence but not,..
False bird of paradise

False bird of paradise

  This exotic flower is from the Heliconia family and is often referred to as the “false bird of paradise”. It was photographed during a tour of a spice plantation in Munnar, India. Its radiant colours and voluptuous shapes immediately grab your attention as you question what type of flower or plant it might possibly..
Seasonal intervals:

Seasonal intervals:

Ice caked fall leaves seem to be more and more prevalent each year. Probably has something to do with climate change. Not sure how good it is for the flowers and plants around us but makes for pretty photographs. Contrasts, texture, shadow and light and knowing that within a few hours the scene will likely..
Bermuda Sunrise, Sunset

Bermuda Sunrise, Sunset

Quite possibly sunsets are one of, if not, the most oft photographed and cliches images. Sunrises, however, receive somewhat less attention, perhaps because many of us sleep through them. The first image of this series was taken early one morning in Bermuda while vacationing on one of the island’s beautiful pink/coral hued sandy beaches. Come..

The colours of India never cease to amaze…

All of Indian culture seems to be infused with rich vibrant colour, making the combination of traditional dance, music and costume a treat for all senses. This dance performance was part of a month long festival in Southeast India. The three dancers were students of the headlining dancer; a child prodigy of a master dancer..
Kabilan

Kabilan

One of the many young children and adolescents of SEAM who we worked with during a three week volunteer experience in Chennai, India. Aged 16 years, Kabilan was studying hard to become a computer engineer and spent many hours with my husband and Siva, a close friend who wanted to become a police officer, talking..
Tree in sepia

Tree in sepia

This tree, species unknown, is located on the grounds of a property in Rome owned by the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. As the tour guide spoke at length about Mussolini and the house (Villa Torlinia, I believe) he lived in during the war, I wandered away from the group to admire this wonderful singular tree,..
Elder woman from Kuna Yala, Panama

Elder woman from Kuna Yala, Panama

This photo was taken during a family trip to Panama in the winter of 2007. The woman in the photograph is one of the elders of one of many Kuna Yala island communities who speak only their own native tongue and who live much like their ancestors have for the past hundred years. This lovely..
