There are many reasons to make photographs—to remember, to express, to document, to illustrate, to create, to influence, to heal. For me, one of the most important reasons to make photographs is to discover and learn...
From an artist friend with whom I shared your newsletter:
This is absolutely fabulous, and has inspired and clarified for me a key aspect of what I paint: a sense of place, holy, magical, pulsing with nourishment for our hearts and souls...we are part of a beautiful creation and my love for the land is something I hope helps people to see, feel, remember, and know that.
Photography, much like painting, is a captivating form of artistic expression. It begins with composition, plays with light and shadow, is enriched by color, and culminates in the message the artist wishes to convey.
A photograph is more than just a frozen moment in time. It is a story, a memory, a feeling something that brings back the experience of a past moment as if you're living it all over again. At its core, photography is a mirror of the artist’s soul , a form of beauty in which artists speak silently through the image they capture.
I come from Albania, a country blessed with stunning natural landscapes, where photography becomes a way to preserve beauty, to relive it eternally, and to pass it on from generation to generation.
My daughter graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts with a degree in Multimedia. She is a photographer, a graphic designer, and a painter. Her creativity has become my muse , the inspiration behind my writings, which are brought to life through her art.
Thank you so much for your wonderful photography. I love your art
Visiting Albania would be a dream come true, and your photography capturing its beauty would be nothing short of breathtaking. We Albanians are known for our heartfelt hospitality, and for me and my daughter, welcoming you would be a true joy and an unforgettable honor.

Thanks so much for sharing my post and your friend’s response, Evelyn.
Your imagery and that of your participants are incredible, Lee Anne! Each makes me linger and want to write a poem.
Thank you, Evelyn. If any of my work or my students' work ever inspires a few words, I'd love to read it!
