LABEL OR NAME

What is the difference between a label ......wife, mother, woman...and a name Kaufman?

Labels can help us distinguish one thing...or person...from another...photographer, painter, artist...or keep us at a distance...shy...timid...

SHEEPISH

We are given names...Frances...called names...Franny Bananny...and try on names...Fran or Francy.

A name can bring a memory...

GERTRUDE

 ...and Heathcliff...or an emotion...

SERENITY

Putting a label on what I do...photography...tells little about my art so I name my images.

Labels can tell you what they are but they keep you from looking further.  Names encourage looking closer...and thinking.

I am many things on any given day...a tired old woman or...

 

ONE TERRIFIC CHICK

but ultimately...whether I am labeled or named...

...AT THE END OF THE DAY...I define what and who I am.

CHANGES

Which Bridge to Cross...

...i've been thinking about change...
...seasons change and weather changes...
...times change and people change...
...that's just the way it is...
...always changing...

...and as life goes on i ask myself...

ON THE EDGE

do i walk on this tight rope

or do i jump?

do i plummet to the ground

or do i fly?

do i stay among the clouds 

or do i come back

to the edge

and try again?

~FK~

...and as i grow older...

...changes become more frequent...

...and it's harder to bend...

...so how do i decide...

...what to fight for a little while longer...

...what do i accept as part of aging...

Stars and Stripes

 

Her Eyes

and...AT THE END OF THE DAY... i learn to see through...

DIFFERENT EYES

i see through different eyes

looking past the negative

i see through different eyes

noticing shades of gray not just black and white

i see through different eyes

observing from a different perspective

i see through different eyes

still glimpsing possibilities
