Flux Number 1
“Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state.” –John Locke I love playing around with different ideas, techniques, and mediums to create art.

Contemplating Impermanence
“By contemplating the impermanence of everything in the world, we are forced to recognize that every time we do something could be the last time we do it, and this recognition can invest the things we do with a significance and intensity that would otherwise be absent. We will no longer sleepwalk through our life.”…… Continue reading Contemplating Impermanence

While the phrases are overused, the sentiment is true. Because if you want to stand out from everyone else, you’ve got to do something or be…… Continue reading Don’t Follow the Crowd
Black Leaves
I don’t have much to say about this image other than I love the texture on the leaves. As I’ve said before, any type of leaf fascinates me. This particular tree is growing in my in-laws backyard and I’ve had multiple opportunities to capture something. Yet the “keeper” photo has always eluded me. My…… Continue reading Black Leaves

Today I Am Tired
Today, I am tired. I’m exhausted from lack of sleep and too much coffee. I’m mentally drained from trying to do everything on my “to-do” list all at the same time. I’m emotionally fatigued from just about everything I see on the news. Today I feel my age and that makes me weary. But tomorrow…… Continue reading Today I Am Tired
Architectural DNA
While walking to the store today, I stopped to get a shot of the side of this building. I’m not sure if you can see it, but it looked like a giant DNA test result to me with its thin vertical windows and alternating rusty metal siding and concrete lines. Do you think the architect had…… Continue reading Architectural DNA
