With the state of current affairs in our world today, the need to unplug, get outside, forget about everything, and just be in nature is paramount. This shot was me doing just that. I wanted to create something that was peaceful and calm, yet also had a dark moody undertone that reflected the nature of…… Continue reading Sand and Water: Unplug

Glenview Impressions
We stayed overnight at a friends place in Glenview, Illinois. This little pond is directly across the street from their house. In the morning, the pond was as smooth as glass and the light was just perfect. I was struck by the symmetry in the reflection and the fall colors in the leaves. I’m…… Continue reading Glenview Impressions

Autumn’s Fire
“Now Autumn’s fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt.” –William Allingham If you ever have a chance to see the fall colors in Wisconsin, do it!

I Miss You Most of All
“The falling leaves drift by my window The falling leaves of red and gold I see your lips, the summer kisses The sunburned hands I used to hold Since you went away the days grow long And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song But I miss you most of all, my darling When autumn leaves…… Continue reading I Miss You Most of All
Tree in the Fog 2 – Behind the Scenes
