Amethyst loves photographing people, places, things. For her, capturing a moment- elevating the normal or saving the extraordinary -is what photography is all about. Equipment: Nikon D50, Minolta 300si Maxxum, Lensbaby 2.0 for the Minolta, Holga, Polaroids/iZone, ActionSampler, Octomat, ColorSplash, Pop-9, SuperSampler and other assorted garage-find cameras. Please note, there may be other non-photographic work sprinkled amongst the images. Of the photographs, some may be worked on in a photo editing program. There is debate among photographers that any editing outside of a darkroom is unacceptable. She is not of this camp.

This is a little wooden bird that's approximately an inch long. Even though they are dwarfed by our big, fake tree, these birds are my favorite of the wooden collection we have hanging. There are also snowmen, angels, drummers, carolers, drums, santas, horses, and boxes of presents, all crudely assembled and painted. We bought them five years ago and since then I've been tempted to get rid of them as I've found pieces scattered throughout the house or at the bottom of the ornament storage box. It's the saucy little birds which look like they are squawking and swooping that I love best. They remind me of why I picked them up in the first place. Sometimes I need a reminder that it's okay to be imperfect.
