- Our roof's in a bit of a bad way at the moment (understatement of the century), and it's going to need extensive repairs (and when I say 'extensive', I really mean 'expensive'). Having said that, the need to get the roof looked at produced some lovely shots of the view from amongst our chimney stacks.I never get tired of living here, which is unusual as my husband and I have moved about a fair ...

- Years ago, my love for photography came on strong—it traipsed into my life like a memorable song, sashaying in, swinging her coattails, and purring a delectable melody. For me, the lure of the lens is unavoidable and its magic unforgettable. Photography and the world it opens up to share is part of my identity, part of me. My first exposure to cameras was in modeling, the high-fashion kind ...

- My interview came out three days before the photo exhibition opened. Sterling enjoyed the profile, and even purchased one of John’s prints. John gave me a call. The Swiss Ambassador was hosting a posh cocktail reception and preview at the embassy. He could get me in as his guest. “It’s time you tried some real food – veal sausage, cheese fondue, nusstorte,” he said. “None of your ...

- I usually wandered down Patpong when we finished our gig at the Bacchus around midnight, dropping in on other bars and clubs to catch their entertainment. One night, a short, hawk-nosed Swiss traveler sat down next to me at the bar and ordered a beer. His name was John Dornbierer, he was a free-lance photographer, and he had been on the road for three years. “To Switzerland ,” I said, ...

- Today on my home blog, I've posted a collection of photos from my trip to Austria and Germany. When I travel I choose a photo theme for the trip, and this one was windows. I photographed the windows themselves as well as what I could see through them and reflections in them. You can see the collection here:http://aknickerson.blogspot.com/2009/04/i-heart-windows.htmlI've also used a photo ...

- The G20 reality show is not funny at all. But some of the pictures are. I have to admit that the Telegraph photographers just outdid themselves this time. I have a great admiration for photographers in general. They have the sensitivity and ability to capture images worth a thousand words . These pictures, however, deserve some dialogue baloons: Scenes from the G20 summit Look at our (Brazilian) ...

- As long as I've been writing I've always disliked it when a writer, whether for the printed page or the screen, falls back on suddenly introducing a dream into the story, whether to explain an absurd turn of plot, or because, frankly, he or she has run out of inspiration. It's like what's known as magical realism, which has always struck me as a weak option--when in doubt as to what to do with ...

- Isn´t life funny? Just this morning I was going through some old pictures and documents (and sneezing all the time), when I found a letter I received from a Brazilian lady who lived in Portland, when I was living in Corvallis, OR. We met in a get together for Brazilian expats and, during our conversation, we found out that we were from the same town. She asked my last name and when I told her it ...
