During the past few months I was in an artist slump, unable to see or capture imagery of our amazing world. Even when I would scroll through my catalog of images, I felt no inspiration which had me wondering, how I could call myself an artist.

But on a recent trip, I was wandering the streets of Los Angeles, surrounded by amazing architecture, stunning reflections, and the extraordinary Disney Concert Hall (designed by Frank Gehry), and suddenly I was inspired and seeing again. Possibilities were coming back and my camera began to wake…and then...COVID-19, sheltering in place, worrying about toilet paper. Like everyone, I wanted to cover up and hide. Yet even in these dark times, I am finding a way to work through it and even find solace and beauty in making my photographs. There is always a silver lining.
