Leveraging Memories

3 Beautiful Things
1. Memories are the building blocks I use to find and create personal stories. Connecting old memories and combining them with something that is happening NOW is one of my favorite games. When I am lucky - voila - a story.
2. Lately I am playing with old photographs - for the memories associated with them - and for the possibilities to create a new image from them. This block tower is made from a cropped and altered passage of a photo I took when my daughter and I visited a salvage yard in Oakland, CA a few years ago. She was looking for something for her house - I was hunting with my camera. We were both hopeful seekers.
3. Having a day at home so that I can play - with memories and photos. Lately I have not had blocks of time at home to concentrate and play - this makes today a beautiful day even though its grey and raining.
