“Men have become the tools of their tools.”
–Henry David Thoreau

Ghost in the Machine.  I have a pile of old electronic parts sitting in a box in my office – old RAM sticks, failed hard drives, broken headphones, parts of things long forgotten and more.  Just as it was when I was a kid, they are all saved with the thought that someday I’ll fix it or make something of it.  The thing is, I never do make anything. The menagerie of misfit electronic parts just continues to gather dust in the corner.  Maybe someday the pile will reach a critical mass and make something of itself.   Perhaps then,  it will be us humans in the corner…

Day 29 of my 365 photo a day project.

Emotion. Mood. Feelings. This is what I capture through my photographs. Whether it is landscapes, architectural elements, still life, or macros - it is a very personal journey as my own fears, triumphs, beliefs, and shortcomings are exposed with each photo. In the end, it is all about telling compelling stories.
