My Michie's Eyes

There are occasionally shining moments in one's life where you are truly proud. Michie hung her first show last week at a local pastry shop. Eleven photos that she took, edited, cropped, corrected, sweated over for months. She put her everything into the photos and it showed. I was a proud partner strutting around the store showing off the fine work that she had created.

Of course, I am proud of her for hanging her first show. But today I was proud of her for realizing that her success wasn't just dependent on how many folks bought her art. She realized on some level that her art has value, just for being her art.

The photos have value because they are Michie. They are an honest expression of all that she is and how she sees the world. There is nothing that makes art more valuable than the integrity that is created by this kind of passion.

The view through my Michie's eyes is beautiful and that just makes me love her and her photos even more.

You can see them by going to:
