you may say that I'm a dreamer, but i'm not the only one...
oh, I had a great weekend...lansing celebrated gay pride this weekend...i was alone and so, as is customary, I grabbed my camera and headed for the capitol. how fabulous is joyce....in her chaps, pearl tie, harley and complete zest for life...and jocelyn benson...(in the red)...who is running for secretary of state and stole my heart with her passion for equality and civil rights...and I think I want to join the peace team...and then the highlight...when the band softly played jesus loves me...afterwards, I headed to old town and perused quaint shops and galleries. it was a really good day.

Pride. In my daughter, whose embrace grows wider with each year, whose heart grows more passionate each decade, whose life becomes deeper each step of the journey. Beautiful photographs. Beautiful freedom. I love you. Thank you for loving this diverse, divided, delicate world and making it better.
you definitely make me think.
hoping good things for you..
Your photos are amazing! I wanted to share a poem my twin sister wrote recently that I think says it all:
pray for peace
if i am a mouse
should god hate the cat?
if i am a cat
should god hate the rat?
if i am the earth
should god hate the sea?
because it is not
a towering tree?
should god hate the day
because it's not night?
does god hate the darkness
because its not light?
does god hate he for not being she?
if god could hate you,
could god hate me?
Thanks for that poem Joan. Carin, excellent work! Excellent!!!
I love you - miss you!!
I'm diggin' that rainbow headband :-)
I think the city should hire you as their full-time historical photographer. All of the historic moments of Downtown Lansing, captured by C.J. - there could be a rotating exhibit of just YOUR work, and then coffee table books published every year.
See why doesn't somebody hire ME as the Great Idea-Maker?
:-)
You Rule.
Chapter 1 is looking good!
You look free and happy baby!
I
Love
You!
Great pics Carin! I'm so glad you were at the celebration. Did you see the drummers? Jon loaned some guys some of the MSU drums for the event. We would have been there but we were en route to Tulsa :)
I adore that first photo. Looks like a fun day!
Do you think that when our kids are our age they'll tell their kids about this nutty time when inequality existed? Like our parents talk about segregation and our grandparents talk about the suffrage movement? Hope so.
We can only hope that someday, the world's embrace will include every person who seeks good, who lives in love and who longs to belong. We can only hope.
so beautiful!!!
