If cameras could see (i.e., capture absolute versus subjective) what we see, we wouldn't need our eyes to remind us of the beauty that surrounds us - but that wouldn't be fun, now would it? As we grow in photography, being okay with simple facts of the eye versus camera misunderstandings helps reframe perspectives in… Continue reading Photography – Trees and Leaves

Book Review – Travels with Epicurus

It's time to let my white-haven't-seen-the-sun-in-forever-babies… Continue reading A peek at spring – don’t let the sunshine fool ya!
