"For the longest time I was convinced that the essence of photography is to show the moment as it appeared at the time of the shot. But being the real girl that I am, I have since changed my opinion. I now think that manipulated image is a better expression of the photographer's vision. Composition is a key, and the true colors are not important."

Have a look and listen..

For now..

Who will you change,

With words

When we voice questions

Like the rhythm of why

If their window is open

For our universe to embrace them

Than bleeding away….

Star Spangled Manner

Yesterday's tomorrow
Of red, white and you
Where the stars are striped
Of sorrow
And a bottle full of blues

This is no political song
For telling you of right or wrong
Just a tune
Of some star spangled manner
Of red, white and the blues

I've had the desire, over the past couple of years, to release a real, honest to gods album on some micro-indie label. Since the beginning, I've self-released everything; from cassettes to CDs, and all had homemade labels, etc.

After some more serious thought, I thought "why?" and then "who cares?" And, ultimately, "that's too much work." Yes, I'm lazy about certain things. I can doodle, draw, paint, make music, film, etc., all day long, but I always get a bit tired and lazy around the packaging and promoting end of art. It's just not part of me to do that.

So, I have organized the more recent half of my audio discography and posted them all online at archive.org!
