The Call: White and Red — Cheryl I chose this image from all the ME/ICM ones I took today, because it reminds me of the work of Mark Rothko and the conversations my son and I have had about Rothko’s paintings. Luke can’t stand them, judging the works to be less than art. I long […]
The Response: Recollections of Liberty — Cheryl I keep returning to my paintings and starting new ones to use as fodder in my multiple exposure and composite images. Combining them in this way seems like a perfect synthesis for me.
The Response: Color and Shape — Cheryl I used to be very concerned about people understanding my intentions, but I finally realized that misunderstandings occur no matter what. We bring our own experiences to our interactions. There’s simply no getting around that. Perhaps I’ve swung too far in the opposite direction, but now I’m all […]
The Response: Light in the Distance — Cheryl Jessica has got me thinking about abstract images. This one was created with crystal vases, and a few layers in Photoshop. When I began thinking about the Call, I decided I’d approach it in terms of those that go into creating a photograph: shutter speed, aperture, and […]
The Response: View from My Rebounder* — Cheryl This is one of Dennis’s photos (of a barn near our house). I had it printed on canvas as a gift for his 40th birthday. It hangs on the wall of his office, which also contains my rebounder. I took this shot while I was jumping. I […]
The Call: Time to Mow — Jessica Summer means that the grass grows. When it gets too tall it needs to be mowed. It’s a endless cycle until the cold weather of winter stops the growth. It’s a repetition that my sons, who do all the mowing, do not look forward to. Response: Dots — […]
The Call: Feather Abstract — Cheryl We almost live in the woods, so there’s plenty of nature outside my door. That does not mean, however, that I don’t want any of it in my house. Henry found this feather a few years ago, and I’ve held onto it since. Right now, it resides on my […]
The Call: Lilly — Jessica A sense of wonder at the world and its complexities creates a desire for understanding. Response: Tracings — Cheryl Photography helps me to see the wonder hidden in plain sight all around me.
The Call: Tile Grout at the Pool — Jessica To live well, is to work well. — Aquinas Response: This is Greg — Cheryl Greg is our go-to man. He has very nearly completely rebuilt our house. He’s a great guy — the kind of guy you want your kids to meet. He’s smart, works […]
The Call: Mom’s Recipes — Cheryl A friend of mine once told me that he thinks I’m afraid of food. Unfortunately, he’s right. I am afraid of food, but I feel justified in this weakness. I am so sensitive to gluten, that the last time I got sick from it, I hadn’t even eaten it. […]
The Call: Swarovski Through Glass — Cheryl When I started dabbling in beading a few years ago, I was immediately intoxicated by Swarovski crystals. They are the components I reach for first when starting a project. And while crystals may not ultimately end up in my creation, they always get considered for the job. The […]
