amma_maw. Get yours at bighugelabs.com/flickr

my life has been long and amazing. filled with friendships, adventure, a beautiful daughter and much love. rivers and mountains and sunshine...laughter and tears. and also deep darkness. the great 'teacher'.


finished with much of what life gave me to live, now I can rest more. pull into the world within. I need less...and want less. time to just BE. time for quiet, and wandering, healing and Spirit.

    "Some time it take a life time to understand people and sometime just a minute or a second. Like when I saw your icon and then went over to your stream. If we ever met I would love to photograph you but can not promise I can do justice to your personality as much as you do with your own eye."

    "Mary Ann shows how ageing doesn't mean dying while still alive. This is an understatement. All her photos radiate energy and pure 'joie de vivre'. She is crazy and sweet, wise and and a young puppy, happy and sad and we may see it; she is real and a true inspiration to me.

    I love her photos because they document all that in an artistic and idiosyncratic manner. You know an amma_maw when you see one! I hope to be able to enjoy her work for a long long time and that she brings her camera with her while roaming the world in her self made van.
    I love you Mary Ann!"

    "This is my absolute favorite place to stop in on Flickr. Her photos are stunning abstractions and representations of her life, and the lives of people, places, things, and animals that surround her. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this photography!"

    "my friend emilee says, "HOLY COW!!! i lie prostrate at the gloriousness that is this woman... her photos are so amazing, she's such an inspiration.. she embraces all her wrinkles, all her gray hairs, she makes them completely HERS and she thrives with life and vitality! she never gave away her essence, and she kept her vanity intact-- the useful kind of vanity, the kind which makes her love herself... ahhh, there's too much to say about this lady. she makes my heart sing.""
