getting ready

As I head out for the first of those 

'travels' I spoke of,

I run around my surroundings 

checking my cameras...

are they ready for the trip?

This set is checking an old SLR with my ttv set up.

I always enjoy how a set of images

emerges from the day.

Sometimes it is the

spontaneity itself

that makes it cohesive.

Heading out to get some work done,

snaps from my trip.

relatively

even these photos,

discarded.

Back alley secrets

Discarded and hidden

For all the world to see.

  This morning I was inspired.

It lasted all day.

Man is free at the moment he wishes to be.

one simple day

Getting to know someone is not a task-

it is an Art.

1. the locker room where I swim 3 times a week.

2. Coffee with a wonderful friend.

3. Me enjoying a surprise afternoon snow shower.

4. My daily companion, Maxi, also enjoying the snow shower.

5. The only thing that really caught my eye.

Dreaming of travel

I am finding myself 

surrounded by wonderful friends

offering wonderful travels.

Which got me dreaming of 

past travels, and places unseen.

Yesterday

Yesterday I took a walk.

the sun was out,

the air smelled of Spring...

.

Valentine's Day

I tried something new this year...

I helped my Friends pass out

over 500 Valentine's notes and candies.

I was humbled, happy, and full of gratitude 

for the lovely world we live in.

Sorry for the lack of photos,

it was very experiential.

Spontaneity

never be afraid to get lost, 

you never what you'll discover.

and never hold yourself back from spontaneous day trips,

you never know what you may see.

.

a narrow view

Sometimes it just makes for a different

story

all together...

Taekwondo

I had a wonderful time watching this group of

amazing people put their heart and soul

into rising up to the best they had within themselves.

It was artistic, poetic, and beautiful.
