There is something soothing about the sounds and it feels as if my thoughts and spirit are being cleansed by the rain as well. There is something to be said about the effect water has on us. And everything looks beautiful behind my lens.

Pioneer Park - Deland, FL
I was unaware of the history surrounding the
town and was happy to learn so much of it all in one place; Pioneer Park in downtown Deland. As is often the case, I let my eyes lead me in the direction of most interest and chanced upon this great find. Along the way, we ran into a worker who was all too happy to give us the inside story on the Pioneer Park Murals.
Jump!
I find street photography very rewarding. It suits my personality. I enjoy breaking the "stranger" barrier and street photography provides that challenge. There is an exchange between photographer and stranger that occurs sometimes in a matter of moments. And it feels like there is always a bit of me in each capture. It is in the gaze, the posture, the intimacy that is achieved in those few minutes.
When there is a group, the dynamics shift and the challenge sometimes is a matter of how well that group relates.
In the end, I am always pleased and grateful for those moments of magic. Sometimes the photographs are secondary to the experience.
Eye of the Beholder
I love this series for it's example of how many different ways one can see and appreciate the same object.
Rocky Mountain High
I also visited Philip Toledano's brilliant "Days with My Father." His honest, beautiful and simplistic work felt like a favorite candy melting slowly on my tongue. I just didn't want it to end.

Valentine Wedding at The Addison
Originally, it was the home, office and small restaurant of the famous architect Addison Mizner during the 1930's.
Located in Boca Raton, The Addison has a well earned reputation for it's Five Star menu, excellent service and one of a kind setting. The dining areas are dispersed throughout the two-story restaurant creating intimate spaces that lend themselves well to romance.
Denver
Truth be told, I am more comfortable seeing life through my lens. In a very real way, it provides a barrier between me and the unpredictable. Aside from that, I have always been fascinated with space and time. Photos are my way of holding on to time and I suppose that is as good an explanation as any for my lifelong fascination with photography.


Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village, though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.
Robert Frost
This beautiful poem by Robert Frost was the first one I ever memorized. I loved it when it came my turn to recite it in front of my 5th grade class. And as I get further along in life, the more meaning the poem takes on.

Blue Moon
I took advantage of the "Blue Moon" lighting to take some outside off-flash photos. It was a crispy cool beautiful evening and by the time I got back home, my mood was as brilliant as the moon. The sky was full of "rock clouds" that resembled a stone walk in the sky. I played with the setting and was able to get both the mystical cloudy moon as well as the surprisingly clear moon.
"A blue moon (the “second full moon of a month” version) comes around relatively frequently—about every two and a half years. But a New Year’s Eve blue moon may qualify for the saying “once in a blue moon”; the last one came in 1990, and we won’t see another until 2028." UnEARTHED
