Abandoned Dance
Some locations whisper their stories. This one practically sang. When the idea first came up, a dancewear shoot for a brand that wanted to break away from the usual look, the destination was obvious. If you’ve spent any time around dancewear photography, you know the...
Dancer In the Dark
Julz and I leaned hard into the darkness, minimal light, maximum mood. She brought intensity to every movement, making my job behind the camera very easy. Working with dancers, I have found that they understand how to make an impact through both stillness and motion,...
Seeing Beyond Black and White
Many of us tend to view the world in absolutes, right or wrong, good or bad, success or failure. This black-and-white thinking offers a certain comfort. Clear categories feel manageable, and definitive judgments require less mental effort than wrestling with...
Neglected Muse
The muse, a whispered, fragile thing,By daily clamor, it fails to sing.A screen's bright glow, a buzzing phone,Distract the seed, before it's sown. The endless tasks, a heavy chain,Where "later" echoes, dull and vain.And fear, that shadow, dark and deep,Keeps...
Whispers of Existence
I stand in the shadow of thought and time,A fleeting echo, a silent rhyme.Questioning whispers cloud my mind,Seeking truths I may not find. I know I am. I breathe, I see,Yet, purpose drifts away from me.A puzzle missing half its frame,A candle flickering without a...
Broken Doll
In shadows rest the porcelain faces,Fractured lines in delicate traces.Once pristine, now worn with time,Their cracks a silent, mournful rhyme. But see the light that gently falls,Upon these tender, broken dolls.Each flaw is a mark of stories told,Of love once fierce,...

Steps Forward Steps Apart
At fifty, life’s a book half-read,Pages turned with love and dread.Memories thick, the ink still wet,On paths I’ve walked, some with regret. The faces once so near and dear,Now echoes in a distant sphere.We shared our days, our nights, our dreams,Yet life is more than...
Shadows of the Mind
In caverns of my mind, a starless night,No guiding moon, no path, no guiding light.I wander lost, through twisting, shadowed halls,Where whispers echo off these lonely walls. The air is thick with thoughts, a tangled maze,Of doubts and fears, of sorrow's hazy...
Blown Away
A crown of wishes, soft and white,Awaits the breath of passing night.Each seed, a hope, a tiny sphere,Soon to be scattered, far and near. We often find ourselves caught in the undertow of life, planning, plotting, and striving for control. But have you ever stopped to...
Welcome to My Brain Dump
Hey there! So, you've stumbled upon my little corner of the internet. Let's get one thing straight: I have no idea where this blog is going. One day, I might be waxing poetic about the meaning of life. The next, I could be raving about the perfect shade of blue for my...
