Fitting In

I've been thinking alot lately about a new project. "Hozhq encompasses the notions of connectedness, reciprocity, balance, and completeness that underpin contextually oriented views of health and well-being" (Stokols, 1991). I've felt that connectivity with the land and the people (ancient and present) ever since we made the move to this area. Everytime we go out on a hike, we can breathe it. It's very alive. I really want to try to share that feeling, that awareness, that connectivity through my photography.

Like I said in my previous post, this year is a time of change and opportunities, and I want to make the most of it. But sometimes, "making the most" of something simply entails stopping, breathing, and "seeing".

HAPPY NEW YEAR

So the new year is upon us, and the winds of change are blowing in my direction. I don't believe in new years resolutions, but this year is the time of transformation. And I'm really looking forward to it. So many opportunities have already opened up, which will undoubtedly present more. These are definitely exciting times.

I am currently showing in a juried exhibition in Sedona, have a photo in the current Shutterbug magazine, and have submitted a portfolio (hopefully for publication) to B & W magazine. I am also approaching other galleries for showings, and will be submitting to Arizona Highways magazine. So, I'd appreciate it if you keep your fingers crossed.
