Taking Flight Preview

Inspiration for "Taking Flight"

*Images soon to follow

Winters veil is pulled away and blue skies revealed to lift the soul in clarity and revelation of a bright future.

Flower buds push through the soil and dance into colorful view, as birds sing and soar through the sky's blue expanse.

Above is a headpiece I made for the photo shoot "Taking Flight".

It is made with vintage flowers, screen, 

and a plastic headband form.

Freedom and Beauty.

Fresh. Full of Life.

Sheer Elegance.

Climbing to New Heights.

Taking Flight.

Boldly in Mid-Air.

Sophistication.

SHATTERED

Life can be dark. desolate. dry.

The self begins to crack open

No longer can it maintain

Pressure.

Resistance.

Force forms a Falter.

Fallen.

Broken. SHATTERED. 

Deep into the pit--into the ache of the unknown, into loneliness, fear, frustration--HOPE can be found.  Shards of life experience comes together like perfect imperfection, reflecting light, shining it brightly in predestined directions.

"Poverty, hardship, and misfortune have propelled many a life to moral heroism and spiritual greatness.  Difficulties challenge our energy and our perseverence, BUT bring the strongest qualities of life to the soul." L.B. Cowman

This photo shoot was inspired by life's dark capabilities.  It is filled with emotion.  Mirrors line the walls, reflecting the search--an introspection.  Also notice a motif of geometric shapes, chain, and dark color.  These pictures portray my love to style, design, and model.  Hair & make-up are also done by personal efforts.  The images are creatively captured by Sean Watson.

We cannot see what lies before

So we cling to Him the more"
