I am impressed with the combination work of my 5D Canon could with the 35 mm lens, in a very dark bar and restaurant. The camera focused on Kelly and  the lens softened the background so to highlight her beautiful smile. Kelly is a strong woman, I think of all the debates raging on about women and how men deal with them and I think that one of the great breakthroughs in my own life was coming to learn to support and accept strong women in my life,  to listen to them, hear their voices and make sure I appreciate them, they are coming to take over the world and save it from men.

I have a new lens, I told Kelly – we go to the Bog once a week, usually on Thursday – and she said, “do it, you’re the artist.” I think actually that she is the artist, I am cherishing my Kelly Nolan portrait collection.

Some men cannot deal with strong women, they are imply unhinged by them. They think the world has turned upside down, they expect women to melt and fold under pressure. I don’t feel that way, I think the world is turning rightside up.
