Kerry Laureen Photography Kerry Laureen Photography I'm coming back to my roots and now work as a musician, author and, once again, I am a photographer. I love my job.

Muffle miffle years ago I worked as a portrait photographer and a film developer, but set it aside to pursue a degree in theatre, dance and music which I was then silly enough to set aside for steady work in Information Technology/Computers. I knew photography had chosen me again the day I took a shot of the harbour I lived near. As soon as I finished, I had that feeling that it was a “good shot.”

I found myself softly giggling in deep satisfaction and pulling my camera to me in a quick, delighted hug. I had no idea I was going to do that and, as I was in a public park, I will admit I surreptitiously looked around with a blush on my face hoping no one had seen that. No one had, thank goodness, but that's when I knew photography had become joyful for me again and that has stayed with me. When I have a camera in my hand I find that life is more present. I’m not worrying about anything either gone or yet to come. I’m not aware of whether I look silly or not. I’m only aware of the way light is falling or playing, the way a wing folds on a bird, how shadows and colour interact, how something I’ve never seen before (even if I’ve seen it a million times before) shows up. Everything else drops away and beauty has a chance to tap me on the shoulder, smile and say to me, “See? I told you this world is amazing!” Photography teaches me to see beauty everywhere. I will never be one of those photographers who can say “I am a landscape photographer” or “I am an urban photographer.” I guess the closest I can come to a genre would be to say that I am a life photographer. I photograph what catches my eye, what takes my breath, what gives me shivers, what I find beautiful or fun, and what makes me go “Hmmmm….” Who knows what that’s going to be. It’s always an adventure, always an experiment , always a process of learning, and always a new way of looking at life.

A Thousand Dreams Just Waiting for Breath
There is never a time when a person grows too old to dream or too old to make those dreams come true. There is never a time when magic runs out. Sometimes all it takes is inhaling a deep breath and exhaling out a dance of light and laughter, letting the dream be born upon the winds of time to rest in the soil of imagination and grow with the water and sun of action. Life is ever renewed in dreams and when we nourish and grow these dreams they nourish and grow us. Go ahead, take a deep breath, make a wish, and blow.

Must take up juggling once again. Maybe it'll teach me to juggle in life, too. lol :D More to post coming up soon. I'm finishing up a couple of projects (a book and an artisan project) and then I can get a few more photos posted. I hope all of you are having a wonderful day! :D

Third in a series of three (so far). This is a closeup of the petals and heart of a ruffled striated coral red tulip. I had the pleasure of wandering up to LaConner, Washington for their tulip festival this spring. I love visiting LaConner during tulip time because it reminds me of visiting Holland as a child when we lived in Berlin, Germany. The fields upon fields of brightly coloured tulips lay like a patchwork quilt over the land; as if a vibrant blanket had been pulled over the earth and a cup of tea was nearly ready to serve.

I'm not sure why, but I'm fascinated by urban life when it comes to photography. I think it's partly that it lends itself so well to capturing form and slices of a moment. It can be breathtaking and gritty. In another album I'll focus on Urban Architecture and Urban Decay, but this one I'll try to stay with a larger scope and I'll add to it as I can. As usual links are given when appropriate.
