'Visions of the Past' Bessie Mike was her name. Already an old woman when I met her, she spoke of stories and experiences that involved characters long since gone, with a beautiful smile while weaving her baskets... I asked her more present questions regarding her life, and she told me of her dear husband who was on a different reservation at a nursing home. She hadn't seen him in such a long time. She spoke of her children who both had addiction problems. Her voice trailed off... her mask of happiness faded and she seemed to go to a far away place. I noticed that her tool used for weaving was placed in such a way that it looked like a dagger, piercing through her heart. I think of her often, Bessie Mike... I think of how long life can be, how joyous it is. I think of how lonely then it feels, in contrast, when the height of joy is nothing more than a memory...

I go by Kristoffersen, my surname. However, I'm not sure how to get that sorted out on this site... A bio from my web site: "As an accomplished fine art photographer, Kris Kristoffersen is unparalleled in echoing the culture of the authentic American landscape. His portfolio suggests an eye for intensity and a penchant for revealing the haunting splendor within his chosen images. Ranging from rustic cowboys to side-show carnivals to Native Americans, his pictures help us to reflect on those who lived in a bygone era. No matter what he selects as his focus, it is truly mesmerizing to see the world through Kristoffersen's lens. He has been published nationally and internationally in such works as Der Stern, Marie Clare, Landmark calendars, and books from St. Martins Press and KMW publishing. His works have been placed in MOMA, Tennessee State museum, The Frist museum, The Booth museum, Gene Autry museum, The Heard museum. He has also been collected by many corporations such as The Sheraton hotel, Jose Cuervo, Polygram, Taco Bell the TV series Nashville, and many more. He has also been collected in many private collections such as Vanna White,Johnny Depp, Lady Anetbellum, Steve Cropper, and Kevin Dobson from Knots Landing.
