I know the rules but always set out to break them. Every image needs to tell a story. I have a background in several genres of visual communication.

Of late, my primary focus has been on photography, but I love visual storytelling no matter what the media may be.

The Gulf holds its breath
as the sun slips beneath the water’s edge.
Clouds catch fire for a moment,
then soften into violet and gold.
Waves keep arriving, unhurried,
as if they already know
this is enough.
No grand announcement.
Just the ordinary miracle
of another day closing
in color and calm.
I am grateful for the chance to stand here
and watch it go.

Goodnight, from Turtle Beach on Siesta Key, Florida.

“I’m sure I am wrong about many things, although I’m not sure exactly which things I’m wrong about. I’m even sure I’m wrong about what I think I’m right about in at least some cases.”
― Brian McLaren

Goodnight, from Turtle Beach on Siesta Key, Florida.

The romance of Creator and creation is far more wonderful and profound than anyone can ever capture in words.
Standing here on Siesta Key this evening, watching the light break through heavy clouds and the sun hold its golden place just above the water, I feel like I’m overhearing an old love letter being rewritten in real time. Not a performance for me, not a postcard, but the living conversation between light and water and air that was going on long before I arrived and will continue long after I leave.
If I ever start preferring my own stained-glass windows to this, I will have begun to love the reflection more than the light itself.
Tonight the Gulf simply said to me, without needing a single word: Look. Wonder. Stay soft.

Goodnight, from Turtle Beach on Siesta Key, Florida.

“We need not a new set of beliefs, but a new way of believing, not simply new answers to the same old questions, but a new set of questions.” — Brian D. McLaren

“Never forget that the way which leads to heaven is narrow; that the gate leading to life is narrow and low; that there are but few who find it and enter by it; and if there be some who go in and tread the narrow path for some time, there are but very few who persevere therein.” — St. Clare of Assisi

Goodnight from Siesta Key, Florida.

Behold the marriage of fire and water, heaven touching earth in radiant surrender. Every wave carries a prayer, every silhouette a pilgrim walking the edge of mystery. What divine beauty we are allowed to witness.

In these fleeting moments between light and shadow, I am reminded that even under clouded skies, grace finds its way—whispering peace to the waves, wonder to the sand, and quiet gratitude to every soul who pauses to breathe it in.
Siesta Key, where the sea and sky still speak in harmony.

Goodnight, from Siesta Key, Florida.

As the sun dips low over Siesta Key, painting the sky in molten gold and fiery amber, my heart overflows with quiet thanks. For another day of breath, beauty, and the gentle rhythm of the waves — for the simple miracle of being here to witness it all. Gratitude anchors my soul and lifts my spirit.
What a gift this life is.

Goodnight, from Siesta Key, Florida.

Yesterday’s moonrise over Cabarete, Dominican Republic.

Forty days of stubborn searching, cranky heart in tow, and the path finally opens.
Not with trumpets or thunder—just a quiet arch of welcome beneath the sky’s soft blush, where every leaf and breeze seems to lean in and say, You made it.
We hunted the good s**t in raindrops and raptor dives, in walking leaves and dawn’s first fire, and now the threshold stands unguarded.
Palm Sunday’s humble parade arrives in ordinary splendor: grace was never far away; it was waiting on the other side of our ordinary days.
So step through.
The Lenten discipline is complete, but the good s**t? It’s only beginning—wild, relentless, and already ours.
(a Lenten discipline for cranky people)
