Paint Brush
A worn paint brush on a (mostly) white painted canvas. This image was inspired by the phrase “an expensive camera makes a great photograph just as much as a paintbrush makes a great painting.” I thought I’d use my expensive (to me) camera to photograph the brush in action. I’m still waiting for the masterpiece…… Continue reading Paint Brush
The Frame
“Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet.” –Victor Hugo Day 343 of my 365 photo a day project.

Just turn on the news, read the newspaper, listen…… Continue reading Learning to Let Go
Miracle of a Single Flower
“If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.” –Unknown, possibly Buddha For the day after the noise, pomp and circumstance, explosions, pops, bangs, and excitement that is the 4th of July, I wanted to create something simple, beautiful and understated. What better way than with a single…… Continue reading Miracle of a Single Flower
Watercolor
A watercolor paint tray on a white background. There is something about a set of these simple paints that just makes me happy. Perhaps it reminds me of the hours and hours I spent creating page after page of refrigerator masterpieces as a child. Perhaps it is simply the spectrum of bright colors. Whatever it…… Continue reading Watercolor
