Today I Am Tired

Today, I am tired. I'm exhausted from lack of sleep and too much coffee. I'm mentally drained from trying to do everything on my "to-do" list all at the same time.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal… Continue reading Embrace

Merry Go Round

Merry Go Round

“If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride the merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.” –Nadine Stair

Limitless

Limitless

For the artist, the world is limitless. It can be found in the home, on the street outside, in the city surrounding us, in the countryside, and over the far horizon.

Minimalist Pillars

Minimalist Pillars

Looking at my son’s wooden toy blocks and specifically the wooden columns,  got me to thinking about the pillars of design for photography.
