As a photographer
I have never been satisfied with

Two dimensions
A single moment in time
Or even reality

I prefer
To create
Rather than
Record

Light is my palette
A digital file my canvas
A computer my brush

And all the world
Is beautiful data

To be transformed into art

Where the Circle Ends

Where it starts
There it ends
Then we must
Begin again

Circle
Unbroken
The round
Complete

Then round
And round
And round
Again

Until I step
Upon a path
Some may say
Leads me astray

Vintage Selfie, Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, New York, United States of America

Selfless Selfie In Between

I climb the stairs
Get turned around
Wonder which
Up or down
Light’s everywhere
Caught between
Transitioning
Where do I
Belong

Goosenecks State Park, San Juan River, Utah, United States of America

Trust the Flow

I make my way
Down winding path

Though much I seem
To go astray

Just trust the flow
To lead the way

So long as I
Keep steady craft

Row with the main
And level stay

I’ll reach the calm
Upon this raft

Granite and Conifer

Enrapt
Enwrapped
Granite and conifer
Cloud and sky
And I
Reverent
In the rain
And rapture
Of nature’s glory

Sunset, Mojave Desert, Route 66, California, United States of America

Seeing in the Brightness

Sometimes
The light seems too bright
So I seek
The respite of darkness

I remind myself
The darkness is always present
Even in the brightest light
Its balance is available

I remind myself
The light is not too bright
Rather my eyes remain
Accustomed to the darkness

Lake Powell, Page, Arizona, United States of America

Visualizing

I swim down
Deep into the reservoir
Of the pain and suffering
That is my despair
Find the glimmer of hope
Release it from the bottom
Cradling it in my arms
As I rise back to the surface
Breathe deeply in the fragrant air
Pull myself up onto the solid shore
Basking in the sun’s warmth
While pain and suffering drains away
Despair releases from my being
While hope swells in my heart
