From Skilled Hands

In the Eye of the Beholder

When I look at a photograph, I feel like I have a glimpse into how the photographer sees the world. That’s what I like about photographic images—it’s not the “prettiness” of a view—it’s the quality of the light, the slant of the sun, the place where the shadow meets the light.

And once in a while, I come across someone who sees the quiet spaces, the places where my heart stops to linger and to rest. A person who sees the extraordinary beauty in ordinary objects, and who appreciates the sacredness of it all.

Jodi Anderson captures moments in time through images and words that touch my being. She shares her work at her blog, so Not cool, and at the Women’s Colony. She has just opened an online shop where her luminous photos are available for others to own and enjoy. Jodi is hosting a giveaway of one of her pieces at the Women’s Colony as well as a 10% discount (the discount code is WOMENSCOLONY11) and is available to Jodi’s readers through November 23.

You can read what Jodi has to say about herself here. You will also find links to her main blog, her poetry, her videos and other things she shares.

Debra, thanks so much for posting this. I’m disorganized and discombobulated after this cold-flu-whatever swept through the house, and I’m grateful to have all of Jodi’s links here in one place for me. I love the way that Jodi sees things, too — love the way that her photography, writing, videos and poetry are a lens for us to see her unique view.
