Feeling good
Photographers take photos for a number of reasons. Of course you’re always looking for that spectacular landscape or wildlife encounter. Then sometimes you’re walking along and you see a scene that just makes you feel good. Time stands still and you want to remember that moment forever.

Mystery and Madness
One man’s opinion, what is yours?
“It is only through mystery and madness that the soul is revealed”
― Thomas Moore, Care of the Soul: A Guide for Cultivating Depth and Sacredness in Everyday Life
Anything that brings intense emotion to the surface reveals a piece of your authentic self.
What makes you cry?
What makes you angry?
What inspires you to “do something now”?
What makes you nostalgic?
What makes you yearn?
What are you doing, thinking, hearing, smelling touching when you feel true joy?
What makes you giddy?
What inspires you?
All of this has elements of mystery, madness, even wonder, and majesty, and believe it or not, ALL of that is IN YOU NOW! It makes you YOU! Wonderful YOU! And the world needs YOU!
See the good in broken things
“The same sun that rises over castles and welcomes the day spills over buildings into the streets where orphans play, and only You can see the good in broken things. You took my heart of stone, and You made it home and set this prisoner free” ― Bethany Dillon
Alum Cove, Arkansas
Treasure of your Infinite Depth
“The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea; And the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your eyes.”
