Night Blooming Cereus

October 18th, 2009

She is also known as Queen of the Night for that is only when she blooms. She opens up her petals to dark sky capturing the brilliant stare of the Moon and the Stars. Before the Sun rises, her petals fall into morning air.

Buffalo Dreams

October 11th, 2009

I have nine totem animals. The Buffalo is my South totem animal. The animal in the south protects the child within and reminds me when to be humble and when to trust, so that innocence will be balanced in my personality.  I have waited to post these photos of the buffalo I have met. I see buffalo in my dreams. I see buffalo in my life.

Buffalo…

You bring us,

The gifts of life,

Hear our prayers,

Smoke rising,

Like Phoenix.

We are reborn,

Within the sacred words.

Buffalo was the major source of sustenance for the Plains Indians.  It gave meat for food, hides for clothing, warm and soft buffalo robes for long winters, and hooves for glue.  The medicine of Buffalo is prayer, gratitude and praise for that which has been received.  Buffalo medicine is also knowing that abundance is present when all relations are honored as sacred and when gratitude is expressed to every living part of creation.

A Study in Flower

September 28th, 2009

These two photographs were taken within a minute of each other. I am certain that I didn’t change the shutter speed on the Diana camera*. There are only a few settings anyways. And since it’s film, there is no metadata to be sure.

A few words.

Vintage. X-ray. Photogram. Photographing Fairies.

* I may have changed the lens setting as it appears the focus is quite different in both exposures.
