Pirates

“There was a single blue line of crayon drawn across every wall in the house. What does it mean? I said. A pirate needs the sight of the sea, he said & then he pulled his eye patch down & turned and sailed away.”
– Brian Andreas

Hi, I’m Andrea

On this blog you’ll be learning with me how to use our voices, share our creative superpowers and live life in full color.

As an artist, photographer, life coach + mentor, I’m redefining what it means to be a SUPERHERO — ‘cause in my world, it’s got nothing to do with capes, spandex or sidekicks and everything to do with tenderness, intuition & baby steps of bravery.

    Your pictures always make me want to move to SF. This one may be my all time favorite. Amazing. And the pirate link, so cool. The company I work for has a pirate as a logo.
    The superhero link didn’t work though…

    Andrea,
    Great bridge photography.. I never thought of taking a picture of one at night..
    I just got Brians new book Traveling Light.. it is awesome.
    I met him when he was visiting Tampa a couple years ago and bought the cat at the piano one.

    oh no. until now i never realised that i needed to work in the field of pirate outfitting.
    i obviously will need to find out more about the uses of lard in the near future. and then i will sail across oceans and fight scurvy and eventually arrive in San Francisco.
    Avast there Mateys!
