by the sea | photo story

I've wanted, since I've been home, to do a big long post about Squam by the Sea. I had some revelations while I was there and what I believe to be life altering moments that I'm trying to make sense of with my words or is it that I'm trying to find the courage to publish them? Either way I'm still processing my time by the sea.



I had this moment when I was walking back to the beach after running in the house to grab a jacket and when I opened the gate I saw this eerie photo right in front of me perfectly clear in my mind. The next step should be no surprise when I tell you I grabbed my camera that was conveniently strapped around my neck and took this photograph above.

That's usually how it works for me. I walk around and let the life in front of me speak for itself. I'm looking as though through my lens finder constantly composing a shot. Sometime things jump out at me like it did in the photo above, while others take me a bit longer to find. Either way I always seem to find the piece of the story I'm looking for. So for now since I can't help sharing I thought I would let my photos speak for themselves and tell the story I can't seem to find the words for....






I was so in love with these fences. I simply couldn't get enough.


the beach house we stayed in. I kid you not I was sure I was in MTVs Real World.




a very old decrepit house amy and I turned our car around for.

Sarah Ahearn's beautiful baby girl. She was the teacher of one of my painting class and has a book coming out soon.




amazingly beautiful women I met and hope to see again sooner than later. Thank goodness for technology to keep us all connected.


these little birds made me exhausted the way the would run back and forth and chase the wind. Sort of wanted to join them.


The pier where I met many fisherman and realized the people in the south are really hospitably.


I eventually convinced this man charlie to put those fish back in the sea since they were alive and he wasn't keeping them.


Mccabe and her videos. She reminded me I need to make more videos.


I love this image because not only does it show my beautiful friend Amy, but a woman who sees me and encourages me to be me.






I never knew a sunrise could be so beautiful and yellow. I always thought they were more purple and blue. Amazing to experience in the sand.


nothing beats hanging around a beach fire.
