A Color and White experiment....

There is nothing man has made that matches something that nature has made with a simple design. The head of a plant had a couple of hundred leaves that baffled my thoughts for a few moments. It so beautiful and simple at the same time. Yet intact it is a living plant which makes food for itself in an arid environment !!! Just think about the complexity that belies this beauty.

Kids are always drawn to the water...
here the little one is pulling with all her strength to get in to the water...
maybe it was the gorgeous sun that was calling her or maybe it was the surf...
maybe she was just being a kid....

I had the opportunity to take portraits of a friend and her family at the beach...
This is from that set...

When we walk on these clean and shiny hallways at Children's Hospital all that you hear are the click and clack of your shoes on the floor. But the walls have heard and seen more.....
Cries of joy, wails of pain.
Disbelief that miracles happen, discontent that something you love so much is in so much pain.
Ecstasy that your prayers have been answered, realization that all those were a waste of time.
Whenever I walk through these, I get a bone chilling feeling and then a chest full of hope, maybe disbelief and a lot of echoes...
All I can do is walk fast - as you can see light at the end, while hoping that time stands still. When I reach the end of this hallway, then around the corner is another one.
You realize that One just has to has trust, hope, maybe dream... prayers, you ask?.. they are so futile....
