    Diary of A Bad Writer: Fear, Caution, and Responsibility

    Pandemic. COVID-19. Coronavirus. All words which have become commonplace in our vernacular in recent months, and spewing forth from these terms is the unintended consequence of Fear. You writers will notice that Fear is capitalized. This is a technique where a writer capitalizes an abstract word to personify it. Thus we have Fear. And Fear,…

    On the Way to You by Kandi Steiner

    Kandi Steiner is the Queen of Angst and definitely delivers with this one. What makes you happy? That is a question we would all do well to consider in our lives. Steiner does a great job making one think through this question in an applicable way, all while confronting everyone’s internal fear: “… I don’t…

  • Green Glow

    Happy St. Patty’s Day everyone! I’m always amazed at the tiniest of things that draw my attention to a scene. I love how lights come to life at night and how colors seem to glow. For me, this shot was all about the dress. The green was so dominate in the glow from behind the…

    Diary of a Bad Writer: It’s a Small World Afterall

    This is mass hysteria promulgated by the viral nature of social media and mainstream media, and now stores simply cannot restock fast enough. With no strong leader standing up to thwart the propelment of media enticed fear, what did you think would happen?

  • Technology Commands Our Attention

    The juxtaposition of these two, both looking down at their respective technology, is what caught my attention. On the left: the photographer of the event. On the right: the event planner. Both are intently focused on the equipment in their hands, unaware of each other. The image begs the question: What commands my attention? We…

    There Must Be a Story

    Like I’ve said before, I’m a storyteller. The fact that I don’t always know the story, doesn’t negate that fact. Photographs tell a story – even when we don’t really know anything about the scene. For instance, I know this is a food truck rally, and the guy in the hat is considering his selection,…

    Museum Photography

    The peacefulness of walking through a museum is difficult to describe. It is a powerful quiet that seems to overwhelm. While this wasn’t my first choice of stops in DC (the Museum of the Bible), it was a beautiful exhibit. The lighting and artifacts were gorgeous and obviously made for some great photos. The only…

    Caught

    Sometimes artists name their photos. I’m not one to do this each and every time – only if a title jumps out at me all at once. This one is entitled “Caught.” I had a great vantage point on a balcony in a local downtown area. I had been capturing photos across the way in…
