Hello there, my name is Annie Beedy.
I am a freelance natural light photographer. My work is photojournalistic in style, although I've been known to stage elaborate situations in which to insert my friends from time to time.
This blog is a stream of consciousness of sorts, a bit of storytelling, friends, family and some of the interesting folks I meet out in the world will be highlighted here, all strung together in whatever mad logic makes sense to me.
Hope you enjoy.
Every once in a while I like to put up one of my “classics”. I’ve always really liked this photo. Here we have my little niece on the first day of her first dance class. That little room was a whole unknown world to her and she was so nervous! For me, the wrinkly little tights just seal the deal. Too sweet!
The incomparable Joan Hiller Depper, owner of Riot Act Media and one hell of a girl, shares her dreams. For those of you who know Joan you’ll understand why I simply let the tape roll and let her do her thing! Welcome to a land of translucent pincherless crabs emerging from “Oprah Mud”, spaceship semi trucks and more. So without further ado, welcome to Joan’s subconscious.
Listen to Joan:
I think my favorite dream is the Oprah dream! What’s yours?
Sonny Smith of Sonny & the Sunsets had this little dream…
Myself and Sal were at some sort of special conclusion to a trip. I had a thank you note composed in lousy Spanish, a crinkled up note saved for this very occasion. I pulled it out and was overwhelmed with nervousness or anxiety, the kind you feel like when taking an oral test in school. “I want to thank you for this special tour of Cuba” I said. And then more things I can’t remember…Only the whole dream seemed to take place through the perspective of a third unknown party who was watching us as if from the end of a long rain gutter…
It is strange how simple memories and dreams can carry such weight, how they sometimes stand out because they formed with crisp clarity for unknown reasons. Now you might be wondering who the Sal in Sonny’s dream is. It turns out Sal is a reoccurring dream character, an invention of his subconscious. He explained her like this, “I think she is a compendium of ex’s, a vague composite, she always shows up so I always write about her. She’s been paying visits for over a decade.” Sonny dreams a lot and chronicles some of them here. In my household we’ve been listening to Sonny & the Sunset’s album Tomorrow is Alright a lot lately. The man dreams, writes and makes music. Have a listen..
Stranded:
I photographed Sarah and Val’s wedding back in August 2008 and now there is a baby on the way! I love it when I get to follow up on people and photograph the different stages of their lives. Congratulations you two!
