Good-bye, Lucy

While I was in Sicily with my husband my first and favorite medium format camera, a Mamiya 645, jammed. I brought it home and hoped it was something simple and something that could be fixed.

looking back

For the last 12 on 12 of the year, I am sharing my 12 favorite images from 2018. Some are because of the moment, some are because of the film, and some are because I simply like them. I only have one digital image this year that made the top 12. I can’t decide if […]
