Here’s an experiment in refraction. I’m not completely happy with the image, but this is an aspect of photography I would like to continue to explore.

I am a Salt Lake City-based photographer. I'm interested in using my photographs to invite people to look more closely at ordinary objects and recognize how extraordinary they can be.
Reflections at the Library
In general, Salt Lake City is not that architecturally interesting. But our public library is one terrific exception. Designed by Moshe Safdie.
A New Leaf
What can you say about such elegant natural design?
Lily of the Nile
Here’s a different perspective on the Huntington Botanical Gardens. This Agapanthus flower is shot against a backdrop of the Rose Garden which gives it that colorful bokeh.
Tulip Deconstructed
My husband’s been bugging me for weeks now to post this. Though tulips are not in season here in Salt Lake City, this is one of his favorite pictures.
Philadelphia Cityscape
Downtown Philadelphia — my hometown.
Rose Blush
A beauty from The Huntington Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California. The Huntington Rose Garden is my second favorite rose garden in the world after Queen Mary’s Gardens in London. The variety and quality of roses at The Huntington is stunning. More Huntington roses to come.
Disney Hall Abstract 2
Here’s another photo I took of Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. I just love shooting this photogenic building. (Can a building be photogenic?)
Poppy
A poppy in its final days. Photographed in Queen Mary’s Gardens, Regent’s Park, London, UK.
The Road Ahead
Abstract photograph taken in the atrium of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia. The Kimmel Center, designed by Rafael, Vinoly, is home to The Philadelphia Orchestra which is exiting bankruptcy today. As a fan and former employee, I wish them all the best as they move forward.
