“Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all.” — Emily Dickinson For the shot of the day, here is a delicate pink feather on a bright colorful background. It is cold, grey, and snowy outside and I feel like I’ve…… Continue reading Delicate Pink Feather

Three Succulent Plants
These three tiny succulent (and plastic, I might add) potted plants sit in one of the two small windows that flank our fireplace in our apartment. I love the way the sunlight streams through the glass in the late afternoon. But try as I might, I have never been able to get a satisfactory…… Continue reading Three Succulent Plants
Right or Left Hands?
Is this two different hands? Or are the both the same? Do you see left hands or right hands? This is my commentary on the state of our political system here in the United States. The two main political parties, at least on the national level, for the most part, are the same. In general,…… Continue reading Right or Left Hands?
Path from Point A to Point B
“Adversity is the first path to truth.” — Lord Byron The easiest way to get from here to there is a straight line. That is easier said than done. In reality, the path from Point A to Point B is very rarely straight. It is full of twists, turns, switchbacks and dead ends. We must…… Continue reading Path from Point A to Point B
Broken Bulb
“I am on until I am dead, like a light bulb.” –Henry Rollins A single broken and burned out light bulb on a bright white background. Day 135 of 365
The Eye in the Sky
“I am the eye in the sky Looking at you I can read your mind I am the maker of rules Dealing with fools I can cheat you blind And I don’t need to see anymore To know that I can read your mind” –from the song Eye in the Sky by The Alan Parsons…… Continue reading The Eye in the Sky
Texas Highway
This photo was taken through the windshield of my Dodge, on an isolated Texas highway, somewhere in Big Bend National Park in Texas while driving at about 85 mph. It was in late September of 1997 or 1998 and I propped my Nikon FM2 up on the dash, centered the car on the yellow line…… Continue reading Texas Highway
Voyeur – A Self-Portrait
“You’re either going to walk through life and experience it fully or you’re going to be a voyeur.” -Nicole Kidman Self-portrait shot through the frosted glass of our back door. This turned out to be a lot more creepy than I intended. But I’m happy with that. 😉 Day 131 of my 365 photo a…… Continue reading Voyeur – A Self-Portrait
Electric Guitar
A close up of my 1985 Ibanez Roadstar II electric guitar. An instrument, I hate to say, not played much since the late 80s. I had all of the dreams a normal teenager has about joining a band, playing to packed houses, traveling the world, attending all of the best parties, getting all the chicks,…… Continue reading Electric Guitar
Building Blocks
“I think LEGOs are one of the best toys ever developed.” –Adam Savage Three white plastic toy building blocks on a white background. Day 129 of 365
Minimalist Kick: Cyanotype on White
I’ve been on a real minimalist kick in my art as of late. You can certainly see that in my recent photographs in the 365 Project. And lately, I’m actually finding it quite difficult to find and shoot compelling images of landscapes or cityscapes/architecture. So what is up? I’ve never considered myself to be a…… Continue reading Minimalist Kick: Cyanotype on White
Coffee on a Wooden Tray
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.” — T.S. Eliot I must admit, this is not my normal morning ritual. But the sunlight through the kitchen window was just begging to illuminate a photograph. So I grabbed what I had in hand – my morning java with the teaspoon still inside and this round wooden tray still on…… Continue reading Coffee on a Wooden Tray
