Visible Woman

This will be the last one today. Shops like this one beg to be photographed. I promise to mentally leave Paris any day now. Although I don...

There's our portrait, in a art gallery window in Paris. Somehow I prefer this sort of portrait to the ones where you hand over the came...

I like this one because the graceful Degas sculptures of ballerinas are being studied rather intently by these decidedly punk guys. You have...

I've packed for our little trip, mostly. And we are going out tonight in a couple of hours. I've reviewed the day's Wimbledon pl...

Soon I'm going to a high school reunion and I was thinking how the class changes, as a group. Marriages, divorces, deaths, children. An...

In France, food is serious business. And there are still many specialists. Bakeries, pastry shops, fish shops, cheese shops. Waiters are pro...

A friend reacted to my artist's statement with tongue firmly lodged in cheek as follows: "At times even the artist herself is re...
