I travel, when I can. Write, when inspired. Photograph, where there's beauty. Make films, for a living.
Oh, and I play a decent didjiridu.
Red Sky and Rainbow
Red Sky and Rainbow
Bringing much needed rainfall
To Alberta badlands
And dinosaur bones
Bringing much needed rainfall
To Alberta badlands
And dinosaur bones
Zabriskie Point
When water runs
It eats away the earth
Cutting facets
Like crystal
Above the dry valley
They call Death
It eats away the earth
Cutting facets
Like crystal
Above the dry valley
They call Death
Until the rain did fail
Thus they shone
Close to bone
A feat not
Taken lightly
Until
The rain
Did fail
Pic and a Word Challenge #1: Discovery
There is little more satisfying
Than finding a little-used road
Crossing unfamiliar country
Than finding a little-used road
Crossing unfamiliar country
Such a road promises
Adventure, beauty, discovery
And the longer I follow it
The further inside myself I see
Bryce Canyon Hoodoos
Sometimes
No words
Are forthcoming
No words
Are forthcoming
Some images
Must be allowed
To speak for themselves
The beauty and insight I will never know
It is not the unknown
Which frightens me
But the stories I create
To comfort my ignorance
Which frightens me
But the stories I create
To comfort my ignorance
And so I forfeit
The beauty
And insight
I will never know
The Golden Gate
Sometimes I remember
The extent of my privilege
To cross a bridge
From here to somewhere
The extent of my privilege
To cross a bridge
From here to somewhere
Other
Unfettered
Without risk
Without consequence
Without desperation
Somewhere better
To be
Somewhere different
To see
The Road to Somewhere Else
There is a road
Which goes
From here
To somewhere
Which goes
From here
To somewhere
Between
There seems
An expanse
Of nothingness
