A big part of life is about who you meet along the way. There are a lot of things I would never have done if I did not meet the right people at the right time in my life. Being an introvert it sounds strange to my own ear to say that a big part of life is those you meet along the way. But it is not about the quantity of… Read More

I always enjoy getting out in nature. It is even better when I am accompanied by friends. I recently was able to get out into nature for a hike with a friend. Our conversation meandered all over the place and covered a great many topics. Believe it or not Running almost didn’t come up. But, it did come up. I know you are surprised right. I talked about running. Shocking news. But,… Read More

How do you approach your craft? You might read that sentence and think that this doesn’t apply to me. But just give me a second to elaborate. When I say Craft, I do not necessarily mean art or the act of creating something specifically. Craft can include art and creation, but it doesn’t necessarily have to.

In life we all have things we are good at. We have things we love. And we also have things we share with others. Sometimes these different aspects of our lives overlap. We share our love of Star Wars with our friends that also love Star Wars. It is fun to talk about and it brings us joy. And seriously who doesn’t love Star Wars. We also pursue different activities and become… Read More

You have to do the work of creating art…. Read More

Doing things that scare us is not easy. But, I would argue that it is essential for leading a life you will look back fondly on. Even if you don’t succeed at these things, you will have tested yourself. You will have gone on a journey. And you will have answered questions about yourself. You won’t look back on your life questioning yourself. You lived your life fully. For me doing things… Read More

I love photographing waterfalls. What I love about waterfalls is the constant motion. Constant change. No two images of a waterfall are ever exactly the same. This goes double for waterfall images in the fall. I love to find a waterfall where there are leaves in the water. The leaves in motion add another irreplaceable element to an image. Leaves flowing down stream create interesting streaks in the water. They are there… Read More

Fireworks on the face of them might seem like an innocuous thing. But the more prevalent they become in our society the more they need to be considered. And they seem to be increasingly prevalent. My feelings about fireworks have really shifted over the years. As ones feeling on things may often do as life experiences and knowledge gained will often impact our thoughts on a given topic. My personal experiences and… Read More

In 2021 I did something I had never done before. I took on a challenge in my photography that would hopefully push me out of my comfort zone. I started a the year off with a 30 day photography challenge. During that time I took at least one, usually way more than one, photograph every day. And then I shared one photo taken that day here on my blog. Then after one… Read More

Watkins Glen State Park is a beautiful location. Maybe one of the most beautiful locations I have ever been to. The park is beautiful all around. And I am fortunate to live right nearby. The beauty of the park is almost overwhelming. There are parts of the park where the beauty is more concentrated. The beauty of the park takes on a spectacular quality. As in the beauty becomes dramatic and eye… Read More
