“Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites. … Society cannot exist unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere, and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.” –… Read More

“First or last? Sometimes the first move is the most important. The first set in the gym. Now you’re working out. The first sentence. Now you’re writing. The first call. Now you’re in the game. Other times, the last move is the most important. The last brick. Now the building is built. The last line of code. Now the app works. The last round of revisions. Now you can ship it. What… Read More

“Accept Where You Are to Get You Where You Want to Go. Seeing clearly, accepting, and starting where you are. Not where you want to be. Not where you think you should be. Not where other people think you should be. But where you are.” ― Brad Stulberg, The Practice of Groundedness: A Transformative Path to Success That Feeds–Not Crushes–Your Soul Click the link to see another beautiful white flower image, but… Read More

“There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson If you like red flowers click the link to see: Blooming… Read More

Wow. Photographing fungus. Gotta say of all the ways I imagined photography taking me I definitely did not see this coming. How did this happen to me. Fungus are interesting parts of nature. And the ones that colonize trees really catch my eye.

I always love finding new flowers to photograph. Something I have never seen before always piques my interest. Several years ago I saw these tiny little purple flowers growing along the edge of the woods where we live. I started photographing them and looking for them every year. And the flowers returned every year. Always blooming in the same little area of the woods. Never seeming to spread. I assumed these flowers… Read More

As my interests in photography expanded one thing I became more interested in was photographing small things up close, or macro photography. One of the first types of subjects this encompassed was flowers. But, the more I looked closely at flowers the more I began to notice the insects that pollinate them. Often the pollinators are insects with wings that come and go. The insects I see most often pollinating flowers are… Read More

In the colder months I do not usually like to get up in the morning and get right outside in the freezing cold for photos. That was one of the best things about my one phot a day project last year. It inspire and motivated me to get outside my comfort zone. Literally and metaphorically. Literally crawling on the ground outside in the morning on a cold day fit right in that… Read More

I have this fascination with flowers that have not yet fully bloomed. In this image I like the contrast in texture between the outer green protective layer and the inner yellow petals. The green looks tough and spiny. The yellow Sunflower petals look soft and silky. Contrast between the light and the dark space in the photograph. Soft line son the petals. Bristly spine son the green. If you have the opportunity… Read More

I had never heard of a Strawflower until a couple of years ago. I really like them. So different than other flowers. The petals on the Strawflower are the opposite of most other flowers. Instead of being soft and delicate the petals on a strawflowers are firm and strong. Firm but not brittle. The petals hold their shape as they unfold from around the center. I love the pointy spikey shapes and… Read More
