Healing Harp

I had so much fun on Thursday photographing Amy Camie. I took way more pictures than I needed, but we seem to be able to talk as if we've known each other forever, so before I knew it we had been talking and taking photos for hours. An added bonus for me is that Amy is a phenominal harpist, so I enjoyed listening to her play while we did our shoot.

I'm not really sure why I felt the need to photograph Amy, but when I heard about her from a mutual friend, I knew it was meant to be. After she visited my site, she said the same. So we both just went with it and I am glad we did. I hope you will visit her sites and see the work she is involved in. I told her recently that I was going to quit calling her the harpist and and start calling her the connected one, because it seems everyone I tell about her, her music and the work she is doing with cancer patients, already knows her.

So before I ramble too much let me share a photo or two.

Amy was kind enough to share her music with me, which I listen to every morning during my prayer time, and often while I'm editing photos. I am able to decrease the mental chatter and to-do lists and it seems to put my brain in the right place. A place to breath and just be. According to the studies that have been performed on her music's affect on cancer patients, it has amazing affects on brain chemistry and the immune system. Be sure to read about all of this on her site healingharp.org

There is definitely magic in those fingers. Actually, I think the magic is her loving heart, making it's way out through her hands.

We had such fun, I had to show you the side of Amy I enjoy the most.

We are kindred spirits when it comes to our belief that all of us are creative, and when we send that out in the world, the world is better for it and so are we. So let those creative flags fly. Here's her site on Scientific Arts.

Okay... so the pictures were beautiful, but as always you made me cry, Mrs. Julie. You always get to the soul of people. And since Amy's soul is so beautiful, the beauty of your comments in addition to the pictures , well, just made me have happy tears. I am glad you and Amy met since you are both "gurus" of a sort. I have learned the art of peacefulness from both of you as well as how each person needs to analyze what they think they want in order to know if that is what they really need.
Kisses and hugs,
