Is religion the new satan?
An open letter to all preachers and teachers everywhere: I get so weary of what comprises most sermons and teachings in most churches today. It is of no practical benefit to me whatsoever to sit and listen to someone preach for an hour about all that is wrong with religion, or anything ELSE for that [...]
The National Day of Prayer
How appropriate, that I would come upon this shot last night while working on rodeo shots…just in time for the National Day of Prayer. Soooo many things I want to say on this subject. Instead of simply throwing in my own 2 cents worth into the ongoing arguments, may I propose that there might be [...]
Holding course and keeping it all in focus.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the momentum of things…like a snowball rolling downhill…until that massive snowball turns into an avalanche and buries you, and THEN you realize, “Uh-oh. This thing is OUT OF CONTROL.” If you can somehow dig your way out of the embankment you’ve become buried in, it could be [...]
Grassed (as opposed to “beached”)
On my way home from my shoot Saturday, I caught a glimpse through the trees of this abandoned back yard treasure as I drove off the exit ramp. Not wanting to stop ON the exit ramp, I turned in the direction of the boat and found a driveway leading to an abandoned house, all boarded [...]
More grunge. I’m in a groove.
PURCHASE PRINTS! To date, I’ve shot this old truck from every imaginable angle and in every season (except snow). So recently, when I revealed this treasure to a new photo buddy of mine (Sonja), I felt a bit challenged to find some new approach to one of my favorite and most familiar subjects. This compelled [...]
Medicine Bottles
PURCHASE PRINTS! It was my original intention to write something inspiring or insightful to accompany this image of an old wooden box of bottles I found tucked under a board in an old abandoned barn. But when it was done, I thought…BLEH. What I wrote wasn’t entirely bad…nor was it entirely good. Not sure if [...]
Watch Your Step!
Have you ever been at a place in your life where you felt you were standing on the edge of a great precipice of decision? You know that where you are is just run down and worn out and abandoned. It’s time to move to a new place…a different place. The door is before you [...]
Light My Path
(I’ll eventually get this whole thumbnail thing figured out for this theme, but until then, for a larger view of this image, click on the preview on the home page.) I’ve never been a creative purist. In life, perhaps HOW you get to a place is as–if not MORE–important than where you get to. Imagery [...]
Local Farm Workers
This is an old antique tractor that sits on display in a neighbor’s field. The background of the original setting was not horrible, but neither was it very interesting. So I start plundering through my collection for some background images that needed a little something extra to make THEM more interesting. An old shot of [...]
