If we were having coffee, I might tell you that life is good and I am lucky to be enjoying it with good health.
If we were having coffee, might warn you that I am a wee bit clumsy, so you may see me spill some of that coffee on my shirt or shorts. Don’t sit too close!
If we were having coffee, might ask you what your goals are. As a former teacher, learning new things and goal setting are a big part of who I am.
If we were having coffee, I might suggest that we learn something together. A gardening course, a french baking class or all about meditation for example.
If we were having coffee, I might explain why I love the ocean so much. It humbles me and I am reassured that something greater out there created us all.
If we were having coffee, I might show you my cards which I sell online and in a shop. They are for all-occasions and you can see them in the Card Tab link at the top of the home page.
If we were having coffee, I might share a video of my grand daughter learning her first words. Toddlers are so adorable.
If we were having coffee, I might invite you over for lunch. I have a thing for pretty luncheon sandwiches, table decorations and naked cakes.
If we were having coffee, I might loan you my copy of my favourite book, The Last Crossing by Guy Vanderhaeghe. I have an extra for these purposes.
If we were having coffee, I might give you a hug. That’s just what I do.
What would you do if we were having coffee?
If we were having coffee … which I would love to do! {Too bad we didn’t live closer!} I’d ask you questions about photography and ask for some flat lay tips because I love your work!

Beautiful, I love your perspective. If we were having coffee (which I love!) I would ask you why you photograph the types of things you do. I’m always interested in why photographers shoot particular items and what it means to them.

Sorry for the delay. What great question…I photograph mainly still life because it allows me total control on the finished product and I love to style pretty things and things that enrich my life even in small ways, like hot cups of tea, flower petals and stationary that I collect. I also love to photograph architecture and landscapes when I travel so I post a few of those as well. Thanks for stopping by Debra:))

Thanks Kathy, I think we photograph still life for similar reasons. I do like the beach, for the quiet, solitude and the chance to be alone with my thoughts. It clears my mind and just makes me feel good!
