The Semi-Intimate Stills

(Those closest to me know I have an insatiable love for nutcrackers.  No surprise that I fell for this little fellow, Jacques, at first sight and didn't think twice to procure him two Christmases ago . . . )

As a close compadre says to me often, "You're like an onion, Onna--I have to peel you by layers.  It's taken me twelve years so far."  I'm not the easiest person to get to know, which is partly due to habit and partly due to reasons not readily mentionable.  For now, as a compromise, allow us to meet somewhere in the middle between here and 'habit' with this offering of semi-intimate stills . . . in all their grainy glory, no less.

Live creatively, folks.
