The Invisibles

Want to be invisible? Become homeless, disabled, mental, a Vietnam, Korea, Iraq war vet, the wrong color, or just wrong. For now, let's look at the homeless humans, because they include all of the above. Huge subject - little caring. But wait! Oprah cares - she must - she sent her cameras & interviewers to Tent City in Sacramento, Ca.

About Me

Bio

I've been a photographer for over 30 years. I've been teaching English to the "cream of the crop" at SRJC for 21 years. I have 5 exquisite kids, numerous grand kids, and several wildly beautiful/spiritual friends. I'm Irish and travel to Ireland in the summer. I love taking off in my sweet car and just looking for things to shoot (photograph) and finding a cheap motel that is near water - Capitola, Ca is one of my sacred spots. I love going out to un-chartered territory and shooting with my son who is the best photographer I know.
I do Yoga and meditate every day. I love to write, read, go to concerts, dance, sing in my car, listen to music, hang out with my kids, eat, (I usually hate to cook)and listen to and love this crazy world. I believe in love. Namaste
