Just Keep Rising

I believe the image is 
always driven by 
the experience. 
You're always trying to 
capture what you feel 
more than what you see.
  Andy Mumford





I want to photograph the considerable ceremonies of our present. I want to gather them, like somebody's grandmother putting up preserves, because they will have been so beautiful. Diane Arbus



Secret To Longevity
Eat your vegetables,
have a positive outlook,
be kind to people,
and smile.
Kamada Nakazato,
Okinawan centenarian




Yes, I struggle.
Sometimes I hurt
Often searching
For just the right word.  

Thoughts slip through
Fishes elusive and bright.  
Garden of echoes
Longing for light.  

Colors collide
In a tempest of dreams.  
Resilience unfurls 
Growing stronger it seems.

In the cracks of my soul,
Where the wildflowers grow, 
There’s beauty in struggle  
Learning to let go.
