Sun-soaked cities in Andalusia, Spain. Life at home is beautiful, but I know there’s a part of my spirit that will always be wandering.

truth
in Musings, Photography
Many of us live our lives very publicly in today’s world. The internet and social media have made it possible for us to share our everyday thoughts, feelings, spaces, opinions, relationships and decisions with complete strangers. As time goes on I see this as more and more of a danger; part of the truth may be left in the shadows. In that respect we only really know half (at best) of someone’s story, and so often we judge what we read or see on the surface without truly understanding.
Assume the compassionate view of others, if in doubt. Every one of us is trying our best, and light and darkness are both part of our stories.

I’ve uploaded some of my work on color film and will be adding my work on black & white film in the coming weeks. My color film was primarily shot on medium format, either Contax 645 or Rolleiflex 2.8f, using Fuji Pro 400H film developed/scanned by Richard Photo Lab in California.
observations
in Photography
Photography has been a gift to my life in so many ways. One of the things I am most thankful for is how it makes me more present. Through the practice of photography, eyes become keen observers. I notice the way the light touches everything, how it transforms the colors of the sky and the grass and the water. I see patterns and textures. In my head even the most mundane of scenes has a story to tell, and this hopefully finds its way into my pictures and into the hearts of others.
in its time
in Photography
“For everything there is a season,
a time for every activity under heaven.
A time to be born and a time to die.
A time to plant and a time to uproot.
A time to hurt and a time to heal.
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
A time to cry and a time to laugh.
A time to grieve and a time to dance.
A time to embrace and a time to turn away.
A time to search and a time to stop searching.
A time to tear and a time to mend.
A time to be quiet and a time to speak.
A time to love and a time to hate.
A time for war and a time for peace.
I have seen the burden God has placed on the human race. Yet he has made everything beautiful in its time.”
