A long exposure
exposes the night's
spaces and lights.

Peaceful Pine

When I look at this picture,
it always make me feel the peaceful beauty
of nature's simplicity.

Cloud-Roaring Lion

The cloud-formed face of a lion,
illuminated by its inner sun,
roars clouds
into the sky.

Frozen Motion

Under the right conditions, 

Mother Nature sculpts time

in frozen motion.

Enjoy Her.

Lights in Darkness

The lights of the season
run like a string within the form
etched from the sun's glow.

Snow Angel

... or an angel with snow on it.

Fire Cloud Chimney

What a glorious confluence
of nature and man,
creating an almost
fearful yet beautiful
image of industry.

The fading expectation of a season's end
fixed by the moment of
magical expression,
followed by the
mundane experience
of returning to reality.

Magnify Love

No matter what we are, 

the best of what we are 

is when we 

magnify love 

among ourselves.

A lonely twig stands
at the edge of a
frosty ledge.

Memories of Spring

In this first day of Winter,
let us remember the
promise of Spring.

Winter's Face of Wisdom

The cold, lonely, empty face of wise winter
speaks a single message:
cover yourself
in warmth.

The Darkest Day

The longest day of the year
can feel like
being trapped
underwater.

Running Ghost

A crumpled napkin runs from some
horrible fate,
as if it doesn't already
know it's a ghost,
frozen in form, time,
and mind.

Tis the Season!

2014

A nice reminder of spring
in the early days of winter.

The Bent Colosseum of Toy Soldiers

The game captures our
ancient need to feel
connected to brutal
conflict.

Torture is not an Art of War: Torture is Terrorism

What does Sun Tzu have to say about torture?
What was the motivation for Bush Administration?
What should happen now? Read my latest article about this.

Strong Sun, Strong Clouds

Feels like a fight.

2014

How many years will pass before
this house is viewed as a lost relic?

How exactly do we decide
what is to be preserved
or demolished?

Second Amendment Myth

Does the Constitution insure the right to a gun? 

In a word, no.

Read the Second Amendment Myth

to explore this truth.

A single rose stands
along a wooden fence.

Grey Flowers

The last colors
of the last flowers
of the season.

Just the right amount of light, dark and shape
to launch the eye into
the infinite sky.

Racial ID

I caught this family of ducks
crossing a lush canal.

Seams Connective

The lines of light and form
connect in layers and seams,
creating a harmony
of depth and shadow.

Tar Creature

This bit of road tar
looks like something
washed up from the deep.

Early Morning Riser

As Black Friday fades into memory,
let us not forget the
early morning warriors plight.

seeing this.

If you're a deer,
I hope you
get the message.

This is my little girl.

She has one aim:
attack
that stream of sweet, refreshing water.

Purple-Tipped Leaves

It's as if these leaves
are dipped in
grape-juice.

Waste of Effort

So much of our world is made,
used,
discarded,
and forgotten. 

Waves of Sunrise

Dark lines of territory
touch the deep forms
of color.

2014

Wooden Wave

The repetition of basic ideas like motion and form
are found everywhere,
when you look closely.

Painted Leaf on Leaf

The color of the concrete,
the embedded rock
and dying leaf atop leaf
is crowed by
the deep color
of autumn.

The ability for a computer to recreate 

the beauty of man's hand will 

only increase with time. 

However, the capacity to create 

an algorithm to discover this fraud

will follow.

Leafy Crustacean of Luscious Color

The shape and color,
the spines and lines ...
I see a critter emerge
from the flowering foam.

Symbols in Conflict

The power pole looks like a cross, next to a stop sign, slightly beneath a flag. The narrative here is simple, but the meaning depends on which direction you read it. (Left to right) Should we stop religion from taking over America? (Or right to left) Is America the religion that stops the world?

Necrotic Art

The imprint of a moth
seems to pull this leaf
into death.

2014

A rainbow of colors
in the morning sky.

Autumn Apple

The hand of a branch
caresses both
apple and leaf.

right up the mountain,
into the stars.

There are more than faces
I see in shadows.

This bark reminded me of the spray-painted walls
of the tropical cities I've visited.

Neon Night

Fog adds depth
to this eerie image.

2014

Wealth is controlling space for the sole purpose of providing personal, peaceful, privacy. 

Poverty is crowed and loud.
