donna, a worthy mission, indeed! i'd like to think this nun is on that mission...but given the look on her face, her mission may have been to get through the day's excursion with a gaggle of teen girls! ;}
I remember the nuns when I was in grade school. The nuns in our day wore all black with the white only around their face like the one in your picture. They were really strict! Oh how well I remember. LOL LOL
Kris, the nuns wore black and white (like penguins - but accessorized with beaded necklaces!) in my day, too. I also remember that I was not alone in my peer group in wanting to be a nun when I grew up...well...at least until adolescence hit when we discovered that perhaps we weren't cut out for the part after all! ;}
“Leslie landed in the lavender and olives of Provence in 2004...fork in hand...” so began La Fourchette in 2006. Fast-forward to this moment...with survival issues managed (every ex-pat knows what I'm talking about!), I return to the original passion that brought me to France: photography.
A quote from Wynn Bullock (20th century photographer) comes to mind as I define myself as a photographer:
"At 42, I decided to become a photographer because it offered a means of creative thought and action. I didn't rationalize this, I just felt it intuitively and followed my intuition, which I have never regretted."
Shortly after I began following my passion and traveling to France to shoot photographs, Façonnable picked them up for their US market. A card line was featured at Nordstrom and small French-themed boutiques throughout the US.
Now, in the golden wash of light that is the south of France, I continue my psychotherapy practice and passion for photography.
