There’s kind of a rythym you find when your young children learn to ride without training wheels. You set out with a decent stretch of straight pavement. You run along side of them for a good couple of strides gripping the seat. Eventually though you must let go. I guess you realize “you know what…
She said her name was Mary
My mom has been visiting and it has been a very sweet time. As I have gotten older I have certainly come into a new place of relating with my mom. I brought her into our local Starbucks so she could get her chai tea latte on the way to the airport. She made her…
God’s Timing is Crucial
She leaned over in the dim auditorium and whispering close to my ear waited a moment to make sure I was listening. She said “I do know that,” pause… “God’s timing.. is.. crucial” the last word being punctuated by the final bowed note from the orchestra performance of a Vivaldi piece. And with the…

How to look like a Hollywood movie star in three easy steps – wide brimmed hat, dark sunglasses and wrinkled linen

Creating a memory
I am passionate about creating a memory! It’s probably the thing that drives my photography the most. We all know that we can’t STOP time, but the camera is a tool that can help freeze it. To freeze the moment. To capture droplets of time, to crystallize morsels of colour and to suspend these droplets…
This is MY spot!
This is my spot! I found it. I haven’t brought any one else to my spot yet. It’s not so much that it is a secret spot. It is, in fact, in plain view. And I am sure every one who lives in the town of Bisbee knows how to get here. It’s just that…
Jaquaranda and my Birthday
Once upon a time I lived on an island. There was a Grove of trees that bloomed purple once a year. When you drove on the old paved road that cut through this stand of trees the sky looked either blue with smoke or blue with electricity depending on the presence of the sun. I…
You are Here
You know that star on the map in the mall that tells you where YOU are? Well to me a family photo can be like that star on the map of your life… When I work with any family, in the studio or on location, I am always sure to tell them that half the…
