ode to joy, volume 3

{my attempt to capture 52 photos that represent joy - my word for 2010}

i met the lovely miss kelly at the be present retreat back in october. she is hilarious, sweet, ever-so-stylish, and just all around wonderful. also, she is a fabulous artist. i now have three of her necklaces (the orange one says "hello" and the pink one says "she knew love"). they make me smile. whenever i wear one, it reminds me of kelly, and the experience, and the happiness that someone can bring to others, simply by doing the thing they were meant to do and sending it out into the world for others to receive.

pure joy.

{i am offline until next saturday, when i will be back with a new photo that represents joy. if i am lucky, it will be a photo of something that i have dreamed of seeing. until then, i wish you a week full of unexpected moments of pleasure. much love.}

i love this project of yours...joy in my mind? you = joy It has been that way ever since i met you but especially whenever you are speaking about, to, or with atlas. If you are playing with him or watching him; pure joy. if you are taking photos of him, joy concentrated X 5.
