I love capturing the artistry of graffiti across downtown St. Louis. It’s like taking a glimpse at the city’s soul. The vibrant colors and intricate designs adorning alleyways and brick walls are a testament to the diverse tapestry of this urban environment. Some may see it as just defacement. Instead, I see it as a... Continue Reading →
During my recent travel to the Dominican Republic, I had the opportunity to explore the less affluent sides of town. Away from the popular tourist areas, you are struck by the stark contrast between the bustling resorts and the modest neighborhoods where locals reside. It was impossible to ignore the visible disparities in living conditions... Continue Reading →
Under the radiant sky, my daughter and I embarked on a day baseball game. We passed the old Fidelity Transfer Company on 7th Street which revealed in silent poetry the impact of the structures we leave behind. Where the eye is granted dominion, the lens of my iPhone captured a glimpse at the story of... Continue Reading →
This little American girl took about a stride on a cobblestone path where her joy would reside. In a foreign land, far from home she experiences joy regardless where she roams. The towering spire watches over her with grace, as here in Oxford she walks through history’s embrace.
In the bustling courtyard of London town, there exists plenty of wonders to be found. A little girl with curious eyes, chases a pigeon that gracefully flies. Her laughter echoes in the warm air, as she darts and weaves without a care. Oh my little girl your spirit is so true, may you always chase... Continue Reading →
In 2008 I found myself navigating through a sea of desperate dreamers, dodging the wannabe actors and the fake smiles of faded starlets on Hollywood Boulevard. I even stumbled on what appeared to be the end of a wedding reception. It was unusually warm and the sweltering asphalt of oozed a toxic blend of ambition,... Continue Reading →
This week and I had the opportunity to take a few photographs in our backyard. I am truly loving the camera on my #iPhone11. I’ve hardly touched my Canon camera in ages. I planted these flowers on my own this summer. The seeds cost a buck. The flowers were a favorite of my mother. If... Continue Reading →
My wife and daughter served as recent volunteers at the “Japanese Festival” this past weekend, which gave me plenty of photo opportunities. I took these with an iPhone 11. The only reason I seem to pull out my Canon anymore is for filming. And, that is only because of the conversion issues with iPhone video... Continue Reading →
This summer we went down to the gulf and stayed in the panhandle of Florida along the Alabama border in a place called Perdido Key. It’s the second time we came and stayed in this area. We have found this place nearly perfect for our annual beach fix. Wonderful white sand and water temperatures, with... Continue Reading →
This summer we went down to visit my brother’s family in Oklahoma. I first moved Oklahoma when I was nine years old. I’m originally from Los Angeles but my mother divorced my father, and her subsequent boyfriend’s job moved us to Oklahoma. I would live in Oklahoma for the next 15 years until I was...

We decided to drive down and stop for a couple days in Memphis Tennessee to introduce our daughter to the Civil Rights Museum. As I have written in other areas, my daughter was the impetus for this stop. She is a passionate soul and unbeknownst to her my photographic muse. I think Memphis is a... Continue Reading →
I was recently at my sister in law’s house. They moved out of the Phoenix metro and I found myself with plenty to photograph. Because deserts are frequently associated with the death of living things, I thought it would be nice to shoot these images in black and white. I love how the black and... Continue Reading →
I love baseball! Not in the fanatic sense, but more of a purist love for the game. Baseball for me is like a comfortable blanket. I fell in love with it when I was nine years old and have never let go. The game has pissed me off a time or two, but I keep... Continue Reading →
This summer out of the blue, my daughter took up an interest in my childhood skateboard. I heavily WD-40’ed the hell out of the genuine polyurethane wheels and the bushings for the trucks. I also needed to do some repairs to the board to fix the holes from the trucks over the years. It cleaned... Continue Reading →
These are the remaining shots I felt like sharing. They add further evidence of the wonderful ascetics of the Western part of the state. We avoided sight of wildfires, but we did drive through some burnt out areas attempting to rebuild from the last series of wildfires.
