The Path
From Buddha to Thoreau to every last painter, poet and photographer, the power of a physical path to represent the journey of life is irresistible. For us, this image,
The Path, always brings to mind these two specific quotes:
Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with
love and reverence.
~ Henry David Thoreau
“It’s your road…and yours alone… Others may walk it with you, but no one can
walk it for you. No matter what path you choose, really walk it.”
~ Buddha
A Cloudy Draw
When all at once a mighty herd of
red eyed cows he saw
A-plowing through the ragged
sky and up the cloudy draw
~ Ghost Riders In The Sky
The soundtrack of Angela’s childhood includes endless Elvis from her mother and cowboy songs from her dad. During the years that the family lived in Colorado, they
often went to chuckwagon dinners under the stars and listened to cowboys sing for hours. The highlight of the night was always Ghost Riders In The Sky. Part ballad and part ghost story, it gave
Angela and her sisters goosebumps every time! This photo, with the ragged, fiery sky above the weather-beaten homestead, looks like it might have been taken the moment before a band of ghostly
cowboys and their red-eyed herd burst through to drive their way across the endless skies.
Palm Cove
Palm trees and day dreams go together like sandy beaches and piña coladas. This is especially true when the palm trees have been photographed using infrared film. Here,
the luminous glow of the palm fronds shelter a well-loved sailboat in a secluded Key Largo cove. This is easily one of our favorite photos for inspiring fantasies of escape. Come sail away with us to
our little island paradise!
The Beautiful
And The Damned
This triptych honors four of Angela’s favorite writers. Tennessee Williams is buried in St. Louis beneath a lovely monument, but he
actually wanted to be buried at sea near the spot where a dear friend drowned after jumping from a ship. Edgar Allan Poe lived from 1809 - 1849,
but the dates on this stone note the 26 years Poe lay in an unmarked grave at this location until local teachers raised funds for a proper memorial. In keeping with the morbidity of this life, he was
then exhumed and laid to rest beneath grand monument at the front of the graveyard. Finally, there are the Fitzgeralds. The quote on their stone flawlessly describes the turbulent lives of these
literary giants: “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne ceaselessly into the past.”
