“And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the ground at our own feet, and learn to be at home.”
- Wendell Berry, The Unforeseen Wilderness

I like to make photographs, and as a few of you know, discovering this changed my life; breathed hope into my being. My camera has been a constant companion these past five years -- I am grateful for it and for the joy I discover through its lens. And, I'm grateful, too, for those with whom I‘ve become acquainted via Flickr -- you're my daily inspiration!

"rich, moving, nostalgic pieces of our past and present brought to illuminated light by this beautiful artist who must shine in real life as her name - star. her images are heirloom quality - pieces that must be pondered over coffee with a friend, quietly alone in the garden, or beautifully recalled in our dreams. star, i have been a long time admirer of your photography. whether it be the beauty of light dancing off of warm vegetables from the earth, or the aging of the seasons captured by your eye, you inspire me with each escape to your stream. it's a quiet place, almost a secret place, that i love to visit."

"Star's photostream is full of so many wonderous images, I'm tempted to mark every photo as a favorite. She has such a unique gift with such a wide variety of subjects whether it's capturing the beauty of small details of every day, staged photoshoots/portraiture, elegantly framed snapshots, or digital manipulations. Every visit reminds me that there is joy and beauty to be found, even in our harsh world--and I feel very fortunate to be touched not only by her work, but also by her kind, generous spirit."

David Bridger says:
"I can't get over the perfection of harmonies throughout your stream, Star. The depth and richness of your wonderful photographs is so often illuminated by, and seasoned with, quotations so apt they seem to have been written just to accompany your art. This photostream is a thing of delight; of wonder. It is a treasure; a joy."

Shari DeAngelo says:
"Her use of natural light, color and effective composition will draw you in. Her ability to gently hold your hand and point your eye at the real beauty of a weathered chair left abandoned but not thrown away, a flower shining its gold center up to the sun, or antique oil cans cast in amazing light will keep you spellbound. You’ll question what you think you see and understand as you look into her world. She’ll bring you back home again, with a quote from Emerson, Cummings, or Dickinson. She paints her world with hope, love, and, in the end, you’ll love her for the way she sees the world. No matter what you see when you visit her photos, you’ll always go back for more."

"Dancing star is a bright light among Flickr stars! Her radiant photos and prose combinations brighten my world. Dancing star is serving up some hefty portions of SOUL FOOD Flickr-style and I am so grateful for the way her work nourishes my heart and mind. This kind of meaningful exchange is what the world once was and Flickr is helping us remember..."
