… a lovely surprise appeared at my door. The postcards I mentioned as a work-in-progress in a previous post have arrived. These are images I’ve had the pleasure of taking of the stained glass windows at Trinity Church in Copley Square, Boston, a building considered one of the most significant in American architecture.
These postcards will be available at the Book Shop located in the undercroft (lower level) of the church. Learn more about the parish and current activities here and specifically tours here and about the Book Shop here. In addition to postcards of the stained glass you will also find a few of my other nature-themed postcards like the following. Happy writing! 😉
evening light, in a new home

Thanks to all of the folks who have been encouraging me to enlarge my photographs. I did so with a print of “Evening Light” and I’m happy to share that it has found a new home at Rockland Street Elderly Housing in Roxbury, Massachusetts. The 18″ x 24″ framed print will hang with many other pieces selected by the senior center with the aid of The Art Connection, a nonprofit organization connecting artists and donors to community service organizations through the placement of original art. But … please do keep in mind that I love my postcards, notecards and small prints that can be slipped into an envelope. So if you’d like a “little evening light” in your home, there are blank cards available here. Have a good rest of the week, folks. 😉

Steve Hands for Vine Leaves Literary Journal Issue 8
The best part about having been given carte blanche to use his words and my images of him however I choose … well, it is just so much fun to say out of the blue, “Hey, Steve, guess what? There’s a picture of your hands appearing in a magazine next month.” He pauses, takes a deep breath and then says, “So, when did you take this picture?” And I get to make statements like, “Oh, don’t you remember that afternoon you were peeling shrimp and we were talking politics?” Anyway … 😉 His hands are paired with a vignette in the online and print publication, Vine Leaves Literary Journal, Issue 8. As explained on the journal’s website, a vignette is a word that originally meant “something that may be written on a vine-leaf.” A snapshot in words. Here’s a link to the freshly launched issue filled with great brief reads and a wonderful array of images.

It’s an honor to have two of my photos appearing in an upcoming issue of Spirituality&Health magazine. It is a special issue on Practice. A beautiful publication with articles that especially resonate for me right now, on topics ranging from clearing mental clutter to the spiritual practice of silence. You can learn more about this publication and other resources here.
mug and magnets

I’m excited to share that now available at The Book Shop at Trinity Church in Copley Square, this mug and two different magnets depicting a photograph I took of the stained glass window, David’s Charge to Solomon. As described in an earlier post, the window was designed by Edward Burne-Jones and executed by William Morris. The entire window is of course fantastic but for me, with camera in-hand, it is the light streaming through these angels that draws my eyes. To see these items and other lovely merchandise, visit the Book Shop in the undercroft (basement) of the church, or you can contact the Shop by phone at 617.536.0944 extension 225.

That is the theme of the May/June 2013 issue of Alive Now, a lovely, thought-provoking bimonthly publication. I am honored to have the above photo appearing in an issue addressing a topic that affects perhaps all people in different ways. On the magazine website, there is a section called Visual Psalmists where the photographers in each issue tell the story behind their images. The May/June stories may not be up yet, so for now I’ll just share that I took this photo on a marina in Miami years ago while waiting to meet up with friends. I sat on a bench, turned my head, and there it was in silhouette.

That’s what flowers often are for me, vessels holding sunlight. And that is the title of my series of images appearing in the latest issue of Blackberry: A Magazine. Blackberry is a new digital and print literary magazine showcasing the writing and artwork of black women. The editor did a lovely job of integrating art with words in this issue focused on “where the light is.” Check it out by clicking on the following image.
2013 calendars: leaves, petals and winged beasts
Posted in Inspiration, Nature Notes, Photography, Publication Updates, tagged art, butterflies and moths, calendars, colors, gifts, insects, Inspiration, landscape, nature, nature photography on October 29, 2012| 1 Comment »
Not to rush time, but I am happy to share that I have two 2013 calendars available for purchase: Leaves and Petals and Butterflies and Moths. I’ve ordered them both and am quite pleased with the quality. Even though many people keep detailed schedules on their phones these days, for those who still like to put pen to paper or just glance at a wall calendar with a peaceful image, I hope these items will be of interest for personal use or as a gift. I have one more calendar planned before year’s end and its imagery will focus on food. Stay tuned. 😉
