Seven… Going on Seventeen.

Photographed a friend’s grand-daughter a while back. I love this photo… Not because of the lighting or how pretty she is but because of the expression: The hint of the woman she will become: A wabi-sabi fragmentary glimpse of the future.

Wabi-sabi is a Japanese world view encompassing the beauty in imperfection. From a truly spiritual perspective it means we are born with our death inside us. I love that. It brings tears to my eyes. On the other hand, no one wants to dwell on their mortality! Let’s celebrate life while we are here. Kids and dogs do that. They don’t pretend to be anything other than who they are, at any given moment on any given day. Love them both.

About Susan Goddard

Officially, Susan Goddard Photography creates dryer-fresh advertising, corporate and editorial imagery for advertising agencies, design firms, magazines, and corporations, both public and private.

Unofficially, I've lived in the USA for 30+ years after narrowly escaping a rainy future in England. I can discuss American politics but not English ones, unless you count the politics of the school playground. I love chess. I've won one lottery (although there was no cash involved, just an elusive Green Card). I play six-degrees-of-separation for fun and find that in Denver, it's usually only two or three degrees (even if it's the President or a Hollywood movie star and sometimes it's one and the same). I have seen one low-flying, UFO in broad daylight. I am completely in love with my dog, Bodhi, who lives up to his name in every way (a being of wisdom and enlightenment). I am bummed (how's that for eloquence) that neither DaVinci or Einstein are still anchored to Terra Firma because I'd love to meet them, sit around a fountain somewhere (hopefully with an Americano in hand) and ask them what their take is on "Life, The Universe and Everything"... (Thank you Douglas Adams.) I love "Game of Thrones", "Homeland" and all things "Shameless". And I love being in the business of photography.
