My teacher staring down at me, hands on her hips. "What are you doing?" she sternly asked, seemingly bent over, her nose to mine, as I sat on the floor fingers sunk in. She obviously didn't understand or appreciate my painting. I had swirled all of the colors into a tornado of grey brown paint, which is exactly what my response was. "It's a tornado!" I replied. ~Off she walked without further notice of me. And so it began, the painting, the sketching, the practicing of writing fonts, the designing of houses, the picking up of cameras. ~I was eight when I first shot a Kodak. Then under the steps of my home, in my very own darkroom built by my father, when I was fourteen. I don't remember a time when I wasn't busy painting, drawing, shooting, developing. Developing my eye, my taste, my need to dream and create. ~I loose myself in these things, and in music, and in my children, and in their children, and in my tribe, and in myself.
