Abstract
Maybe we should call this the “Smoke and Mirrors” collection. These images use mostly in-camera effects and techniques.
Sing It
When you point your spirit to a higher octave,
Love flows brighter, and all is one
See it. All as new.
And if the sun refused to shine
with you there is no wrong
Sing it. All as new. Love flows brighter.
Love and Connection

I bow in gratitude to Martin Luther King and all who have continued his work. I bow in gratitude to Otis and Aretha, and all who have continued to bring rhythm to anyone suffering the blues.
Hope
Each drop looks around
Am I biggest?
Am I brightest?
Maybe try this…
Live with
So much more hope
Live with
So much more happiness
Realize that drops,
are illuminated
by everything
that surrounds them.
Ultimately, we are all one.
“We must continually consider the oneness of humanity, remembering that we all want to be happy. “ H.H. Dalai Lama
A Face, through mirrors
My intention is to inspire magical moments. Abra Kadabrah with the Camera.
Let your eyes wander and let your imagination create wonder.
I use mirrorless cameras to capture a scene, often including plants or flowers. Lately, when I do the processing of the images, I have been inspired to get creative. In a recent series, many mirrors have been deployed, and this is an example.
Often, surprising forms emerge that tell deeper stories than what had been on the surface.
Fiery Flower
If you follow me on any social-media, you will have noticed that I do a lot of crazy things to flowers.
I love flowers just as they are, and occasionally post images that are pretty much straight out of the camera. However, there is nothing more exhilarating than being able to express myself through photo manipulation… using the captured image as the palette from which an artistic expression is created.
I know such things are not for everyone, but I do love sharing them with folks who enjoy them.
Open Eyes
I wish
that we humans
could see with our eyes
what we know to be true
We can’t see, for instance,
the wind that blows
through the holes in our heart
but we know that it does
We can’t see
the sound of the horn
jazzing up our night
but we know that it does
We can’t see
the trees or the forest
producing the air
but we know that it does
We can’t see
the source of all awareness
becoming incarnate
but somehow
we know
And it does
Changes
Changes.
We’re quite aware of what we’re going through.
Open to all things new, here and now.
Like the ripples
Change
The surface
But leave the deep
Undisturbed
