Padre Pio visits Adam and Eve

Even though it’s not the name on her birth certificate, I often call her Fluffy. Because she is soft and light and ever so cuddly.

Fluffy is a magical photographer making even the mundane photogenic. Click, click click and, voilà, the ordinary world becomes full of extraordinary delights.

And this is the lesson I’m striving to learn—how to make my everyday life photogenic.

Fluffy does not attempt to change what she is photographing. No props or gimmicks for her. Instead, she changes her position until she is able to approach the subject in such a way as to make it intriguing. She will climb on chairs, get down on her knees, move to the left or move to the right until she finds the viewpoint that renders the most.

The way you interrelate with the world determines its beauty.
