Reflections is quite simply a journal blog of my thoughts. Where Being real Fridays and Beautiful Mondays come together. Podcast audio and transcripts can also be found in Reflections as well.
Over three years ago I wrote this piece. I had nearly forgotten until I went through my archives. To this day I still remember the advice given to me and it has been one of the strongest lessons I’ve learn not only in business but in life. […]
There’s only a handful of times that I can recall of going to the aquarium. Every time I visit, I love it. The underwater world has long held my attention. So much so there was a period of time I considered become a marine photographer, and also marine biologist. But truthfully? As much as I […]
Some days are like kicking and screaming (all internally of course) and the others are easy going and fun. To be honest these days are much of both. I’ve been taking my own advice and dressing up (aside from make-up) complete with a good hairstyle. It is my way of saying “buck up” and have […]
To play means to trust oneself in a manner of speaking. Let go of expectations and explore away. Photography for me when I was younger was play- serious play.

Some of the best times to photograph is in the wee hours of the morning, when the world is hushed in seemingly silent reverence. Its work to get up early, work to remember the rewards of photographing in the morning dew Too often I miss the opportunity because truthfully…I like my comfort of bed more…and […]
Down on my knees, easily slowly to my elbows I moved very very slowly. Raising my camera to my eyes I waited. I watch through the lens at the scene availing before me. Watching birds in the water is one that can capture attention in their playing. The sparrows in the creek was a happy […]
I’ve been ordered to go rest. So I am. In my room, looking towards the mountains, resting and writing to you. They’ve (meaning my family) have the whole day planned for me. With the hectic of last week I hadn’t been able to prepare like I would in writing to you my friends. Its been […]
