I just keep working working working on my self portrait project. This is a relatively new photo that has just been added to my "Falling Into Place" photo essay in BURN magazine. (CLICK HERE to see my essay). This photo has special meaning to me because the mirror I'm holding is my grandmother's silver hand mirror with her initials--LLLL--engraved on the back. And the clay sculpture in the background is one I made when I was in art college in the late 1970s.

We're now using this image as the cover photo for my essay. It also shows up--along with the photo I took of my hands while meditating--within the essay itself. I was delighted when David Alan Harvey, BURN magazine's curator/editor, recently said that my essay didn't have to remain static but could evolve as the project evolves.

Oh my, is it evolving! I have 6-7 new "keepers" that I've taken in January alone. I'm hoping to be finished shooting by the end of March. Then it will be time to do the final edit and work with David on a book layout. He says I'll want to create a Blurb book to present to possible publishers in the spring.

Life is such an adventure!
