It had been an instant, and one she had not anticipated.  He came on like a hero, like a knight in shining armor, like a beacon on a dark hill.  Not a week into her job she had accidentally deleted … Continue reading →

Almost four years to the day.  At first it appeared to be the perfect job – more shoes than she could take in at once.  The she could touch the styles and compare them, marveling at their simplicity and their … Continue reading →

“Master of the House, solding out the charm …” Indeed it had been one of those days, but this time the other way around.  This time they all crowded around my desk and this time they marveled – marveled – … Continue reading →

Aaron had seen so many pictures.  They were pictures of buildings from everywhere, and they were colorful.  Nananny spoke in her gentle way, but Aaron did not know what she was saying.  Some of the buildings were very old and … Continue reading →

It had been three weeks since she submitted her application and today the decision would be made. She had felt confident all along – finishing the project, being satisfied with it, and getting positive feedback from those who didn’t always … Continue reading →

It had been a long time – too long a time since they had seen one another.  Each had stories to tell, accomplishments to highlight and failures to gloss over.  Growing up they shared so many things, occasionally fighting over … Continue reading →

It has been a while since I have posted, and once again being gainfully employed (at least through September) has taken away from my ability to offer images. No complaints. I have been working on a portfolio that I have … Continue reading →

It is not possible to notice the people who enter, and just as quickly, exit our lives, oftentimes without our knowledge. We may see them in out peripheral vision, or they might enter full view, but they do not register … Continue reading →

I have started a project of shooting people who are a small, but necessary part of my life. These are people who adorn the areas I visit, but with whom I do not interact. This particular one is of a … Continue reading →

This is the third of my three Bromoil street photography images. I am using this process to add an element of abstraction from the scene. Everywhere I’ve ever been, people make lines and force the cars to go within these … Continue reading →
