The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and a richness to life that nothing else can bring. Today’s flowertography session was taken back in May. These are all… Read More »Richness to Life

This is kind of a 2 for 1 food adventure. Back in June I went on kind of a boredom road trip with no real destination in mind. In fact, I don’t know that I really went anywhere. My initial thought was maybe to go to Denison and the Donna… Read More »Big Pizza Pie: Humboldt Field Work
