My Alter Ego
Like many creative types, I've dabbled in other forms of art than my main passion of writing children's books. Over the years, photography has been the one that I most enjoy.
The above photo was made several years ago and is entitled
Astoria Dock. This one on the left, was created in my old neighborhood and is called simply,
Railroad Tracks. Its location is along a rural highway next to the Columbia River; the tracks are featured in my fantasy series:
The Time Travel Tales of Livvi Biddle.
While I'm an amateur photographer at best, I enjoy composing iconic images using black and white photography.
The Oregon Coast is one of our favorite places to visit. This image was created several years ago near Astoria, Oregon and is entitled
Jetty - Pacific Ocean.
This image is called
Covered Bridge and was made more recently in the Common Area of the private neighborhood where we now live in Venersborg, WA. This subject is not only one of my favorites, but my husband, Michael's as well. An oil painting of the bridge hangs in our kitchen area.
The old horse bridge serves as a gathering place for the neighbors each summer.
Sometimes when you're creating art, in whatever genre, you get lucky. That's what happened when I saw my husband Michael sitting on the terrace next to me last month at the
Maryhill Museum of Art. The only thing I did was move his glass of wine, framed and focused the image, and created this photograph. I call it simply,
Lindy, my husband's nickname.
I hope you have a passion for an art form that you enjoy!
