Life got really loud last week as the kids went back to school. By Thursday, I needed peace and quiet. I grabbed my camera and took 30 minutes for me. I needed to be alone in my favorite place with my art. I found other souls in soulful pursuits. Surfers surfing until there was barely enough light to see and me photographing until there was barely enough light to make a photograph. This place, my art, calms the chaos. – Juli

“The palm on your fevered brow, the soft kisses when you need them most, the grip that steadies you on rocky roads, the hand that feeds and nurtures you, the voice that tells you that you are loved, the shadow that walks beside you unconditional and enduring, a mothers love.” – Sunita Sharma

‘Once I saw these images, I just knew they needed to be presented this way. Shown consecutively and taken within mere seconds of each other, they speak louder together than alone.’ – Sonja

Don’t let your soul get lonely child
It’s only time, it will go by
Don’t look for love in faces, places
It’s in you, that’s where you’ll find kindness
Be here now, here now

“Be Here Now” Ray Lamontagne
