look and see
before it
goes away.
the sun is best
just moments
before the sky
goes dark.
she tells me
when it hurts
so very badly.
i see so little,
but i try to help,
but am helpless.
my sorrow is
her pain must
be hers alone.
i cannot feel it,
though it
tortures me,
because i know
she is in pain,
and i care.
the sun is best
just moments
before the sky
goes dark.
I make photos to make myself feel good; I share in hope of making you feel good. I do as much as I can in the camera, but it does not always end there.
Part of making an image in the 21st century is processing a captured image in the computer. This is like dodging and burning in the darkroom of yesterday.
I use Photoshop cc and Lightroom cc. The result is not always what I saw, maybe what I wish I saw. Sometimes, the resulting image is a creation more than a recording. Most of the time, I keep it believable and realistic.

Deeply empathetic words, too.
= I believe that they are based – at least partly – on your real life experience of witnessing another’s distress.
This witness practice, which has its own costs, is a gift to cherish.
Thank you for sharing your own vulnerability in this process. I am mved deeply.
May you all be well; may we find an easing of pain by witnessing one other and being witnessed, compassionately.
