“There’s a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free. Don’t miss so many of them.” ― Jo Walton I titled this image based on a common expression around here. Basically, if you wait “Till the Cows Come Home”, you will be waiting for a long time. The image was made near my home as I was out photographing a fairly decent sunset. While driving back home, I noticed… Read More
“When you take the time to look carefully, deliberately, to really ‘observe’, the fine details missed by our busy, ever filtering consciousness, expand our vision and engrave that memory more permanently.” – Ed Lehming It’s the details, those little things our brains tend to file away as inconsequential within the broader experience, that fascinate and perplex me.

Solitary in the sense of retreat. In the sense of not having to see himself, of not having to see himself being seen by anyone else.” ― Paul… Read More
