Musculature

In a rush to catch a bus, I stopped to take pictures of some stone benches and art that I’ve walked passed for years. Clicking away, falling into the bending light, a man yelled and told me that he had helped the artist who made them. Unfortunately, in my hurry, I did ask his name, but in a quick search I found […]

Don’t Look Down

Every now and then I stumble across an image I forgot about or put aside because I knew I liked it, but didn’t do anything with it. I’ll start with one I found today that I have so many titles for, but I’ve taken to Don’t Look Down.

Fisherman’s Terminal Abstracts and Shooting Mindfully

Lately, I’ve been the most excited about sculpting images I take into new forms.

Sun streaks and Fire breaks

Snow is in the forecast for the next couple of days. The snapping cold kept us at home today, but we were lucky to have clear blue skies all day. But one of the benefits of our apartment are our our west-facing windows and wood burning fireplace. The Sun also helped inspire me to produce a small […]
