When I look back upon my journey as a photographer, it can easily be summed up by the words of Jonathan Swift. “Vision is the art of seeing things invisible.” The journey has been about learning the basics of image-making. It also has been a communion with the camera, and what we can do together. … Continue reading Imagined Landscapes
A peak in Utah. Made with my Leica SL. Continue reading In fog, a peak hides…
This photo is a good reflection of our world these days — many things are upside down. I made this image in Paris. The location was the ever so beautiful, Merci. How I long to revisit the city of lights again! Continue reading Upside down
Sometimes a photos is worth a thousand words. Sometimes three words are worth a million feelings. Continue reading Make America Love Again
A long exposure from the top of the Rialto Bridge in Venice, Italy! The original color photo wasn’t anything to write home about, but when I applied my B&W preset to the photo, it was magic.

I never got around to either editing or sharing it, mostly because I am fairly lazy when it comes to both those activities. I am using the necessary self-isolation as a … Continue reading [Photo] Stop.

These halite crystal salt formations are indeed devilish. It is truly an inhospitable place and boy, I can only imagine how hard it was for old-timers who might have had to travel over this really … Continue reading The Devil’s Golf Course
