I am a huge fan of Katherine Hepburn. Several years ago, I read her autobiography...it was exactly as I expected it to be. I admired her ability to be true to herself.
“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.

These are beautiful. Having a memory of a framed picture above a fireplace in Carmel Valley....
Oh me, too, sanda!! They're just showing up in the marché and they will be on my list weekly for as long as they are in season.
