…let's give it up for sisters
And all the things they do
Not always so wonderful, but
We'd be lost without you
So keep doing what you do.

September
Maple turning in the gardens at Hatley Castle, British Columbia
context is everything
Windows and doors
and false starts
and hopes for nothing
and hopes for everything
and some longing for a view,
and others longing for a new path.

I can’t help but be drawn to these elements, even in new places.

Bound/Influenced
What it feels like to be a wave
Influenced by a small thing you can never touch,
Pushed and pulled always in motion.
To hold such force..
But only within the confines of
That small thing that binds you.
That thing that is smaller than you.
That thing you can never touch.
Maple Silhouette
A wish of noticing,
perspective, prayed for, yielded these thoughts:
Those small things that continue, unassuming and quiet, have their own say.
The beauty of man’s time spent on a monument to concepts cannot overtake that natural diligence of a maple seed growing slowly but surely against a backdrop of “progress”.

If I loved you less, I may be able to talk about it more.

time travel
A civil war reenactment, photography style, near Chattanooga TN, 2010
The era of the deep angle, folks. It COULD have been a super cool shot, but this angle hurts!
I was 20, what did I know??😂😂
at least I got some details right!
Photowalks
A Glass meetup from last year, including Nick, Daniel, and Caleb doing what photographers do, in East Lake. Are you sensing a theme this week, dear reader?
All the Pretty Photographers...
Gathered in one spot with thousands of dollars (2012 dollars, but still) in equipment, to capture (oh yes, I had to use that word) the space needle/skyscraper/Rainer sunset trifecta, just to the left of this frame. The pinnacle of Seattle photography! I did get my own version that night, but honestly, I like this one best.
