COREY

AMARO

Living in France has its advantages, especially because I enjoy details.

The flea markets, the cobbled streets, the church bells, berets and baguettes open a wide canvas of scenery for the senses.

When I look at life through my camera lenses I try to find the soul of things. It is one thing to take a photo, it is another to see beyond the structure, and find the source of light that gives it a voice to speak through the still life. The soul of France grabs my hand, and pulls me close to its heart. I could take photos of France around the clock and still find it whispering in my ear.

I am an American who grew up in a small rural community on Northern California. I met my husband when I was working in San Francisco. My French husband likes to tease that I was his souvenir from his travelling abroad. Presently, we live in Provence with our two teenage children.

Since my family and most of my friends live in California, I started a blog. Like most blogs it evolved from a family gathering spot to a larger community. Everyday I weave tales and take photos about living in France (these last twenty years). Mostly I like capturing vignettes, photographing small details and bringing small moments to the stage. I guess you could say that I like to take photos of the poetry of daily life.
