After 20+ years in the conservation, social justice, and Native American cultural resources environment, I find myself working with individuals to provide housing for low income families, the homeless and indigent, and disabled. Like my photography, it is a labor of love.

Art, kindness, and compassion are my strengths.

Hope you enjoy the results of my field trips into the mountains of Colorado, the abandoned buildings of the south, the frequent concerts, and the beautiful faces of the people I admire.

I'm a fan of the Sony DSC-R1s and tend to shoot mostly hand-held photos. I use Photoshop, HDR, Pixar Typestry, Topaz (and other tweaking tools) as my anti-stress therapy. The way I see it, all this detail therapy beats the heck out of retail therapy any day.

If you would like to use one of my photos, just ask. Some Tribal photos are off limits, but the rest we can talk about.

Kindest Regards,
Geneva

    "Beebe is the warmest most fun flickr friend a person could ever have. She shares her world with refreshing candor and a great depth of heart. Her images are soulful; spiritual; and beautifully styled. The deep connection she appears to have with people is obvious as you view the portraits of friends, family, and neighbors that she offers us to enjoy. Aside from being creative and extremely intelligent, Beebe exudes a playful spirit that can be felt from miles away."

    "Beebe es uno de esos seres que te abrazan con solo dar una mirada. I'm grateful because I've come to know such an amazing, profound, but yet, light person. Her photos are, without any doubt, extensions of whatever lives in her soul.
    Having met her, and the people who surround her with love, made me embrace an old (infatuation/love affair/passion) for photography. As soon as any free time comes along, I will post some of my photographs in this awesome community! Thank you Beebe for finding me!!!!!!!!!"

    "Photography is only one of Geneva's fantastic skills as her other art here demonstrates. Creativity to the Nth degree! Her ability to put herself out there and share is something I strive for. Flickr aside Geneva is the most amazing person I have never met. Compassion, honor, and respect are mere words to the vast majority and she lives them daily in her work and her life. I'm truly honored and inspired to call Geneva a friend and attempt to live as well as she."

    "beebe_gzb, as a recent member of Flickr, you've come a long way in a very short time, with your keen eye and appreciation for life around you. You find 1,000 beautiful things in your neighbourhood, while so many of us flee our neighbourhoods to visit other people's neighbourhoods. Then we return with tons of photos. I commend you for seeing the beauty at your own doorsteps.

    I must also commend you for the wide range of subject matter, and, in particular, for bringing us a little closer to the Native American.

    Welcome, and continue to amuse, inform and amaze us.

    [Note: I wouldn't have changed a word if she were a total stranger. But she just happens to be my dear friend.]"
