I have two types of energy.
One is physical;
and the other is mental and spiritual.
The latter is by far the more important,
for from the spiritual energy
I can draw vast power and strength
in my time of need.

My life is imbued with a vast lovely energy for photography and what it lets you see.
Dance Circle
At the scene called Sunday Service,
I’m so delighted I’ve got a spot
I can ‘put my hand on my hip and let my backbone slip.’
An additional pleasure is seeing photographs at every turn.
This child’s face of concentration lights the center
of a passionate crowd of dancing grownups.

Ideas Of The Future
Over the years I have lived as a photographer, I have realized that being a creative artist has, over time, has enabled me to be a creative ‘see-er’, too!
I treasure and cultivate my ability to see things differently by actively listening, day-dreaming, and using counterintuitive ideas to access an ability to look at your questions in a fresh new way.
This discernment allows me to:
‘connect the dots’,
find new ideas / markets for your niche,
see new directions,
enhance and improve offerings,
and refine messages to reflect more accuracy.
It’s a great feeling when I hear:
“That’s a very good idea!”
“I haven’t thought about it but that’s a good idea!”
“I love this!!! I’m totally going to share it with my group tomorrow!”
Reach out here or via my website Contact Page, and I am happy to ‘take a look’ at a topic of interest for your business – or for you.
I feel that this way of envisioning will bring you an original idea or concept you have never heard before. And it’s my desire that it will benefit your life immensely!

Tend Your Chicks
Chickens come home to roost, and so do your thoughts. Be careful what sort of thoughts you send out.
The thoughts you send out to others will have a far greater impact upon you than upon them.
Unlike a material possession, when you release a thought or give it to someone else, it also stays with you.
It may remain buried in your subconscious long after your conscious mind has forgotten about it.
Like chickens that return to the coop at night, such thoughts may flash into your consciousness when you least expect them.
When your thoughts are positive, you never have to worry about the damage you may do to yourself through negative thinking.
Cheerful, productive, happy thoughts that are buried in your subconscious bring positive results when they recur, and by their presence they encourage the maintenance of a positive attitude in all that you do.
This is a thought-energy selection from my favorite, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
I would love to help create and maintain positive energy in the home through intimate family and personal photography.

Wiser
It started innocently enough: Someone has liked your post!
When I clicked the link,
the address was missing one letter:
Proofreader Me, thinking it was a mistake,
typed what I thought was the corrected address.
My laptop exploded with flashing blue screens
telling me that it was locked now,
and only their ‘expert’ could help me retrieve my data again.
Needless to say, after coloring the air blue with a few choice phrases,
(and an apology to Artist for them!)
I went about reclaiming my laptop, from where I’m posting!
After I’d had time to think,
it made me a little sad.
I always like to give the person
the benefit of the doubt,
and this person may not know
his site had been corrupted.
But I also would not be surprised
if he was part of the spidery web
of wanna-be hackers
wasting their God-given gifts in this way.
But if this causes one reader
to be alert for this image, this WP address,
and this ‘trick’, then it is worth it.
All the best to all of us
who strive for honest, connected communication.

Conga Line
I love the conga line!
My cameras do, too!
It’s a dance the shy can do,
and the bolder ones can do with flair!
Group dancing is great for social skills practice
and positive social experiences,
a dance at a time!
Enjoy your events: Let me take the photos!

Stay
In birthdays past,
I have posted lists of things
I wish to accomplish,
or something I hope
may be of interest to you as well.
This birthday, I simply ask to
stay grounded in reality.
My skill is capturing photos of family and connection in beauty
that will stay fresh and vital for years to come.
Contact Perry Portrait Art today!
Before
A moment before
the official portrait,
another one
was already there.
(Portrait by Chris Levine.)
If I can help record your legacy (and personality!), let’s talk here.
This is Why
To witness the moment in photographs.
To record the beautiful grace of infancy.
To remember the elders, travelling to see their new young one.
To document time, place, and reality for the future.
To make good energy visible for the home.
To celebrate the two, becoming three.
To honor the spirit of family.
This is why.
If I can help record your family legacy with fine lifestyle portraits, I welcome your inquiry at http://www.dorothyperry.com/contact/.
Personal-ity
Sometimes I make my own version of ‘royal portraits’ as artistic or memorial art. I take commissions in whatever you want them to wear (smile.)
