You Au Naturel



I couldn't resist using this title for this post. Read on to see why it makes sense. 

I have been dying to continue working on this project. I would like to create a body of work that showcases people just being...in their own favorite environment and possibly doing their favorite things.

My only rule is: Absolutely NO posing whatsoever. It means hanging out with people, spending time with them--so much so that they forget about the camera. In fact they don't even have to look at the camera; I just want them being themselves. Completely natural or au naturel--except with clothes on!

So if someone were to ask you what is your favorite place and what do you really love to do or what is "so you", how would you answer?

Great Blue...

Heron. Of course there is no mystery as to why this bird has this name. 
Isn't the blue amazing?

I love this particular wing formation in flight. The wings and legs look 
like a very fancy parasol!!

The Dance

 Do you think this gull is taking off, landing, or just hopping around? 
To me, it looks like we have a front row seat at The Bird Ballet...
What do you think?

Francis Hemingway

Turns out that Hemingway was given a polydactil cat (extra toes), a good luck charm according to fishermen, and that cat had generations of kittens. At one point Hemingway had about 70 cats! This is Francis Hemingway, one of the descendants of that original cat named Snowball, sitting on Hemingway's bed in his master bedroom. There are still many cats living at Hemingway's house in Key West. Really cool. Look at that mitten...

Wild Chickens

Wild chickens roam Key West. They are everywhere and are quite urban...
clearly skilled at navigating around moving cars!

Fishing in the Wind

It was a blustery day on the beach and EVERYONE was fishing...


I am in Key West and the wind has been roaring. 
Even the palm trees are dancing. 
Reminded me of these shots I took in Hobe Sound last month.
