Do You Experience Moments of Joy?

Do you have moments of joy, peace, and contentment? Do you know someone who is comfortable in their skin?  If you are a seeker of a life well lived, with ease and meaning, would you chat to me, or send this to a friend? After two years of photographing trauma, I  needed to hide away for awhile and immerse myself in my Master of Fine Art which is all about healing. All humans may experience darker days, grief or pain, it can transform us. I’m trying to find those who know how to find happiness. Let’s start with the moments of joy we find in an activity, love, work, or nature. I am drawn to these people, the alchemists who speak of a journey but see no end just a work in progress. We chose different destinations. When a person knows suffering they have an opportunity to learn compassion.  Through compassion for ourselves and others, we may find peace. 


My images are a showcase of moments, life and emotion distilled into one frame.  To depict a person’s breakages and make something wonderful from fracture, honour transformations and allow change and growth to exist in the frame, breakage and repair are part of the history of a person, rather than something to disguise. The repair is literally illuminated.  A visual record of mends and seams, a photograph celebrating repair or rebirth.
