Autumn Pinhole, My Gratitudes…

26 Nov

Golden Leaf Blanket, Boyce Thompson Arboretum, Superior, Arizona, November 2007

This perfect fall pinhole photograph was taken at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum last November during their fall festival. Can’t you just hear the autumn’s offering of gorgeous golden leaves crunching below your feet, as you walk in the warm sun… I just adore the fall season. This pinhole photograph is available in my ETSY shop.

Today I want to give gratitude, for I really truly have everything to be grateful for! I’m grateful for my wonderful family, for my lover Gary, for my amazing friends, for my dog shadow, for pinhole photography, for laughter and parties, for gallery openings (especially my own), for daily new opportunities, for photography jobs. I’m grateful that I get to work so closely with one of the most talented photographers that I know. I’m grateful that photography brought us together and keeps us together. I’m grateful that I have time to volunteer and help others. I’m grateful for the 2 exhibitions I’m curating in 2009. I’m grateful for the Arizona sun and the occasional cloudy day. I’m grateful for abundance, love, light, energy, happiness, thought provoking conversations, people who collect pinhole photographs, my yellow vw bug, fresh flowers, green plants, good food. I’m grateful for social media and my online presence. I’m grateful for daily mediation, for deep breathing, for journaling, for intentions and intenders circles. I’m grateful for growth, always learning, knowledge. I’m grateful that each day I wake up and do whatever I want.

Feel free to list your gratitudes!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!

    Hi, I came over from boooooom. I have to say your pinhole photography is amazing! I never would have believed a pinhole cam was capable of producing the images you have. It just goes to show it’s about the photographer and not the equipment!
