Someone is on your side.
Someone else is not.
While we're seeing our side-

Maybe we forgot:
They are not alone.
No one is alone...

No one is alone

{She Said} Woodbury, MN Senior Portrait Photographer

"Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing.
Making your unknown known is the important thing."
— Georgia O'Keeffe

I think that after meeting and working with this young lady and artist.
She is wise and talented beyond her years.
She also creates art. Along with other amazing things.
They say a great artist must be comfortable with the unknown...
She's got it.

p.s. she needs coffee as much as i do to start the day...an art thing ya know....

{All that jazz...} Twin Cities Fine Art Photography

"I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve.
But I was outside the Bagdad Theater in Portland one night when I saw a man playing the saxophone.
I stood there for fifteen minutes, and he never opened his eyes.

After that I liked jazz music.

Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself.
It is as if they are showing you the way.

I used to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of this happened."
— Donald Miller (Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality)
