This ongoing series of photographs addresses the elusive, enigmatic, transcendent, and poetic instances that happen all around me when I am in the presence of my grandchildren. So much of the wonder experienced during my all-too-fleeting moments with them can easily be overlooked or dismissed if I’m not careful. The challenge, in this project as in any other, is to seek out the seemingly mundane occurrences, bring them to light and then render them as the extraordinary, beautiful, haunting, sad, celebratory, and mysterious events they truly are.  Sand, Cannon Beach, Oregon, 2016White Dress, New Orleans, 2017Newborn, New OrleansJunior Birdman, Rockaway Beach, Oregon, 2019Leaf, New Orleans, 2015Tree of Life, New Orleans, 2018Toes, New Orleans, 2010Kumquats, New Orleans, 2013Wet Curls, New Orleans, 2015Swirl, New Orleans, 2015Hillside, New Orleans, 2016Bedroom Door, New Orleans, 2017Chalkboard, New Orleans, 2017Sword, New Orleans, 2017Hand Shadow, New Orleans, 2018Staircase, New Orleans, 2020Upside Down, New Orleans, 2020Hanging Upside Down, New Orleans, 2020Jungle Gym, New Orleans, 2020Elephant Leaf, New Orleans, 2020Hammock, New Orleans, 2020Walking Stick, New Orleans, 2020Twirl, New Orleans, 2021Water Spray, Arch Cape, 2021Sisters, New Orleans, 2023Long Hair, New Orleans, 2023Light, New Orleans, 2023Camellia Blooms, New Orleans, 2017Hands, New Orleans, 2014Tree Climber, New Orleans, 2015Legs in Sand, Cannon Beach, 2016Swing, New Orleans, 2020Spinning, Portland, 2021Snail Shell, New Orleans, 2016Puppy Costume, New Orleans, 2017Bad Mood, New Orleans, 2015Static Electricity, Kansas City, 2015Laundry Basket, Kansas CityDrawing, New OrleansGarden Hose, New OrleansMom's Hand, New Orleans, 2013Tear, New OrleansMy Daughter and Granddaughter, New OrleansRaised Hands, Costa Rica, 2023Swimmer, Costa Rica, 2023Reflection, Costa Rica, 2023Cat, Costa Rica, 2023Cloud Forest, Costa Rica, 2023
