A Lady's Fringe Must Never Quite Touch The FloorTruckee River, CA

She must move gracefully, 
Laugh most musically,
Carry herself with elegance,
And a proper lady's fringe must never touch the floor.

Whatevs.
Then I guess guffawing is out of the question then. 
Bummer.
Her JewelsTruckee River, CA

She arranged her gems in such astounding order that the help wondered if she ever wore them at all.
 
Indeed she did.

When some elegant affair or other called for one of her exquisite pieces, she simply broke it off and adorned herself.
Another would simply grow back in its place.

In stillness... movement.
In chill... warmth.
In falling... soft landings.
In a moment... a lifetime.
There are always dichotomies and contrasts, with their constant opportunity to See Things Different.

Take Me Over The Edge
When you shoot an iconic spot like Eagle Falls, you just have to shut out all the noise. And I don't mean all the water roaring by! I'm talkin' about all that yammering in your head that says "EVERYONE has shot this... most of them better than you... this is pointless... Oh, ok fine shoot it, but it's gonna be stupid."

She pauses.
Not that I've ever done that. 

No, when you shoot an iconic spot like Eagle Falls, you just have to marvel at THAT little water droplet - that one right there that NO one has ever captured in EXACTLY the way you're about to - and isn't it gorrrrrrgeous? Snip-snap.

That's what have to you do.
