When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence. -Ansel Adams*A photograph that I shot during a peaceful walk.

I relax on my patio and I see an empty hole--Stefan drained our pool to make a few adjustments. I wonder how many party guests will attempt to dive into the 12ft hole this New Year's Eve. I assume he plans on filling it before then! ;)I am home today, so I placed all my houseplants outside on the back patio for a little morning fog misting. If anything, I am sure that the rubber tree loved it. I

I adore the sea more than ever - it has always been a passion of mine. If I could, I would own a home beside it, so that I may sit and write poetry as Pablo Neruda did on early foggy mornings. Pablo had a cottage beside the sea, but was terrified of being in the water. I think it great of him to put fear aside for a place that moved his heart in many ways. He wrote some of his best love poems

[You are loved] Does anyone really know what that means anymore? Seems we throw that word out there without any thought for circumstance or consequence. In some cases, others find it difficult to utter at all. And if we do say those words we should most definitely mean them. Seems a shame that at times we cannot live our lives with arms wide open. Nonetheless, I plan to try. Sometimes my

One thing I never understood was, why is something so valuable, more cherished than something free? Love is free. Nature is free. A smile is free. Should they not be more valuable? It is not how much something costs that makes it better, it is how it is given, and how you receive it. I would rather have a smile or true love, than money any day. And that comes directly from my heart. Because

I find it wrong for someone to speak negatively about a parent to their child. Unless the other parent abused, it is wrong. During a divorce, personal feelings can cloud judgment and wound the children--good memories fade. You see, if the other parent feels wronged in some way, they hurt. And with that pain, they spread it to others by saying negative things. Funny, even when they make the other

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." — Marilyn Monroe

The Purity Design by ITELY HAIR FASHION. They gave me the entire collection to take home during an Emmy Award Event last year. The hairspray is my absolute favorite--feels soft in your hair, has a strong hold and a fresh clean scent. A plug for them for their kindness.

Actor/model Trevor Donovan (90210) visiting Emerging Magazine. He is such an easy subject to photograph. Hopefully, when I see him again, I will have more time to get the shots I truly would like. Perhaps a photo shoot is in order. -Cher

Relationships, with each one, you lose a part of yourself, and when I say relationships, I mean any sort from a relationship with your parents, to your friends, peers or your partner. Some take your trust, some faith, dreams, confidence or romanticism, and some take your heart, push and pull until it is molded into something that never seems quite the same. All along, you never even realize it

(My beautiful sister, Louisa Catharine Forsyth)How can I manage to put to words what joy she has brought to my life? It is funny, our relationship reminds me of the movie, Beaches; we write and tell things to each other that we tell no one else, and we are so far away from each other right now, (Louisa is in Europe). But no matter how far we are, we are always there for one another.I truly feel

There is no good or bad when making love; you care for the person so much inside, just being with them makes your body tremble. And every part of you feels fantastic in the knowing that they truly care. Making love is more than sex; it is about being together, exploring, kissing and knowing each the one you love. Sometimes, the peak can just be simply holding each other tightly.It does not matter

"It is said that bridges connect one shore to the other. But it is not only this what they connect. Other bridges connect one heart to the other. These bridges are called "love"."(Image I took of the Golden Gate Bridge, with a quote from someone I once knew.)Sometimes we break at the wrong times. It may be from many things--especially pressure; pressure whether anyone would see tomorrow, an exam,

Without hesitation, I would slip into the depths of my lover and rake the curve of his spine in adoration. And with ardent movement, tongue pearls against his insides.

(A photograph I shot in New York a few summers ago)We went to NYC yesterday for a business meeting with the magazine. I had decided to skip the meeting and hung out at the library on 52nd Street and Madison (I think that is the area it is in)and relaxed. Stefan met up with me a bit after that. During this time, it had begun to rain quite heavily. All cabs (as you can understand) were busy, so we

I shot this photograph in Carmel, California. I am still working on it, but wanted to post something with the sea this evening. The sea moves me in a way that nothing else ever could--it is in my blood. I tend to see everything as a potential photograph--no matter what it is. I hope to bring new life to so many things we seem to take for granted.I have a lot to write, but will do so in the

I spent the better part of the day working on photographs. I sit here now, looking at each moment from somewhere above. I feel exhausted, but cannot sleep, although my lids are slipping. Fascinated with nothing in particular, my body and mind are almost moving separately, as if not recalling how to be absolute, as if completely disconnected with nothing left to make them true—a gap where a heart

(A photograph I shot in Cape May last summer.)What a long day for some reason, I can barely keep my eyes open. I will just make this short and sweet. :)There is so much I want to add tonight, like the fact that I watched the movie Julie/Julia (which is probably titled wrong, because I am much too tired to recall)and absolutely adored it. I am not truly a fan of Julia Childs, nor am I not... I

We saddled up before hint of sunrise stretched againstthe bitter cold of the California morning. Fog lifted fromthe mouths of the horses, the trampled soil, as hard as frost.With buttoned coats, we rode toward Sonoma, our horsesbreaking through frozen puddles along the trail. It was winter,but the air was crisp with scents of lupine and sweet clover—each an exquisite reminder that spring had come

So much to say, but nothing really comes out. Language tangled on the tongue; it moves slightly, just enough to push out a subtle sigh, but never truly amounts to much. Where words get in the way and you cannot step through the insignificant to get to the beauty...like tripping over the stones you had carefully placed in the garden..

A likely subject in homes, coffee shops, classrooms, studios—anywhere actually. Where do they go? I say this and mean, our deepest dreams? That picture perfect photograph inside one's own mind...contemplating, but never really moving--that one moment of silence before it all rushes on. Perhaps, that inner voice that slowly begins to fade shortly after the photograph burns. What are we left with?I

We should adore people even more for all the little things, and sometimes we do. Yet, when someone makes a mistake or has faults, those are what seem to get noticed enough to speak about, even get upset about. If you notice something small and sweet that someone has done for you, let them know, what do you have to lose? You may make their heart shine even brighter.And please remember, not

We should think about being our own best friend, love ourselves, be graceful and kind, less critical and more aware. It is then that, we truly have something solid to give to others. I hope you all have a fabulous week! —Cher ♥

We had such a great time in New York City! I have always adored going there--everything is always so alive. It is funny, but as soon as you enter the city, you can feel your hopes and dreams come to life, as well. Such things bring a smile to my heart.I am not sure, but I think I have at least 200 photographs from our trip, but just have not had time to go through them all. As soon as I do, I
