For the 25 years we have been together, I have sung the praises of rural Britain to my husband, who has never been to Europe. In my younger days, I traveled to Britain twice, and I have longed to return, to show him the loveliest places I have ever been. So, I found numerous great …
Magical has different meanings to different people. For me, the most magical thing I have experienced was the three weeks I spent in Cambridge, England, in the summer of 1991, on a UCLA summer program. I had read about it for years in ads in the New Yorker magazine, and I finally decided that I …
How do you capture time? How do you even describe time? That's a brain-breaker indeed. One of my favorite things to photograph is the wake of a boat or a ship. The boat cleaves through the water, and always leaves behind evidence of its passing. If the boat is turning, it shows you where the …
