Every Picture Tells A Story

Tamara

I've been mulling a lot lately. I've been overwhelmed. I've been stressed. It's not like you all know me as a stress-free, anxiety-free person. Oh no, that would be too easy and too in a perfect world. But sometimes the sea is calm with small, lapping waves. The water is cold and I feel it in my body but it's nothing I can't handle. And sometimes the waves knock me down over and over and over. Sometimes something new happens and all of my buried issues rise to the surface of the sea.  Read more >

How I Feel When Someone Compliments My Writing

Tammy and Scarlet

This is gonna sound nutty, but sometimes when people compliment my writing, it makes me feel even more neurotic than if they hadn't. That does NOT mean I don't want people to compliment my writing. I do want and need it so badly. It's just that on a bad day when someone tells me something I wrote resonated with them, I panic and think I'll lose whatever magic I had with that particular post. And I fear I'll never get it back.  Read more >

About Me: 
I was born and raised in New Jersey in a blended, Brady Bunch style family. At 26, I made my escape and fulfilled two life dreams at once - to be with my love, Cassidy, and to live in glorious San Francisco, California. After a rockin' year and a half there, we moved back east to be near our parents and siblings because it was becoming time to start a family. Through a series of adventures (and misadventures), we landed in Northampton, MA and found a true home, in every sense of the word. My daughter, Scarlet, came to us July 9, 2009 and she is love, light and laughter. I work through my pain and wonder with writing and photography. I keep a personal blog at tamaralikecamera.blogspot.com which is half writing and half photography. I love a good balance of intense emotion and humor and I have made a lifelong point to be friendly and warm to everyone I see. Music heals me, mountains and moose intrigue me, and I love cookies, puppies and rainbows an awful lot.
