I remember working, really working eleven and twelve hour days. You would "punch" out and then head into your life or day. If you were fortunate you were heading to those moments you worked so hard to have, but often you went straight into the daily needs and responsibilities. Eager for the so called weekend or day off to catch up with loved ones, do...

For over twenty years I have used a camera to try and capture moments, places, scenes and perspectives that felt worth capturing. A battle that often seemed futile but a habit impossible to break. While looking over this quirky desire to capture a moment, it's easy to feel it is futile. Yet there are those moments.
Those moments sometimes capture what you want, how you...

Hope
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,

Heart, mind and soul filled with that coming home warmth, excitement and energy. It's what happens when I am finally home in New York City, always a dream. This time I come home with the New York dream. New York, the first love of my life, a worthy mistress,
I left the old ways behind me. Pursuing success in the career I left for a...

So at long last, I return to my home city of New York City. I have longed and craved this day for the 9 years I moved away.
There is no question as to the value of the journey between. Four years in LA allowed the birth of my then girlfriend, into my ever amazing love of my life, my wife. Five years in Chicago...

Once in the dark of night,
Inflamed with love and wanting, I arose
And went, as no one knows,
When all my house lay long in deep repose
-St John of the Cross
The day is often so busy it stunts creativity for me. Once the sun sets my imagination and inspiration come alive and bring a smile to my lips as I feel life;...

Darkness is always considered to be an evil. isn't it is the necessary evil, which gives you the vision of reality and the strength that you have to fight it to live. You can't just live in your dreams and be happy. Embrace the dark thoughts and tune them to give you motivation.

I envy not in any moods
The captive void of noble rage,
The linnet born within the cage,
That never knew the summer woods;
In envy not the beast that takes
His license in the field of time,
Unfetter'd by the sense of crime,
To whom a conscience never wakes;
Nor, what may count itself as blest,
The heart that never plighted troth
But stagnates...

Walk and touch peace every moment.
Walk and touch happiness every moment.
Each step brings a fresh breeze.
Each step makes a flower bloom.
Kiss the Earth with your feet.
Bring the Earth your love and happiness.
The Earth will be safe
when we feel safe in ourselves.
- Thich Nhat Hanh

"Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me." Elwood P Dowd

“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two...

The definition of insanity is repeating something over and over and hoping to get a different result. Well not according to Webster or Merriam but to me. This is oddly close to the same for the definition of Hell.

I have been sharing my call to give more to the quality...
