Dandelion
A candid moment on a daily walk with my brother during COVID.
Resilient Veil
A luminous veil of green and violet aurora stretches across the starlit sky, cascading like a celestial ribbon over a quiet, snow-covered landscape. In this moment of cosmic wonder, light emerges from the void, painting the heavens with a spectacle born of unseen forces. For me, this photograph becomes a sublime symbol of renewal — […]
Whispers Beyond the Horizon
Beneath an endless expanse of soft indigo sky, golden grasses ripple gently toward a horizon where sea and light blend into quiet harmony. This image, delicately abstracted through layered textures, captures a landscape on the cusp of renewal — a serene threshold between what was and what will be. With radiating calm and quiet vitality, […]
Whispers of Becoming
Ethereal light trails in soft, prismatic hues rise gently from a shadowed field, as if awakening from silence. In this abstract interplay of light and texture, emergence replaces stillness — a quiet yet powerful unfolding. With this photograph I intend to bring into mind a visual metaphor for internal rebirth and emotional renewal, capturing the […]
Flying Emeralds
The iridescent greens of the Western Emerald hummingbird contrast with the violet flowers, painting a beautiful scene from the forests of the mountains in Colombia.
One More Day
This image was taken at Fiscalini Ranch in California. I love hiking on this ranch and hearing the waves of the Pacific Ocean blending with the sky colors at sunset.
We do recover
Meet a local recovering addict, she has started her own recovery house and is working on a second location. This is part of my renewal series because she has transformed into a healthy lifestyle. This photo shows the embracing of her new self and the encouragement that she reflects to others struggling with addiction.

Fields Of Tomorrow
Stretching across the horizon like a sea of mirrors, this solar plant stands as a beacon of hope and innovation. Captured under the soft glow of dawn, the glinting panels silently harvest the sun’s energy—clean, endless, and full of promise. This image is more than just infrastructure; it’s a portrait of progress, where technology and […]
Flower Shatters Concrete
One tiny flower, bursting through unyielding concrete, powerful symbol of resilience and hope.
AMARANTHINE
Amaranthine means eternal beauty, a concept that is always intertwined with nature and the human body. To transcend the boundaries between these two worlds, I chose the technique of double exposure on 35mm film, creating a profound and natural connection that evolved beyond initial planning and relied on the sensitivity of the moment. Each movement […]

The most difficult thing is to choose shoes in terms of size and beauty

Update
Renewal is designed by nature itself. A deer sheds its antlers to grow new ones. Let’s become deer and remove the old antlers and let new ones grow.

There are many different fishes that are very large: catfish, beluga, sturgeon and […]

Currency II
A moment ago, I submitted a photo entitled Currency I. This is Currency II, shot the same day and within three minutes of the previous photo. It again reflect the value of community and friendship – more telling in the wake of Covid. The ocean in the background plays a metaphoric role in the title […]
Currency I
This photo was taken in Nice, France as Covid international impact was just beginning to wane (we had to be tested to return to the States the next day). This photo continues to speak to me on many levels – the power and need for connection, the capacity for relationship to endure hard times, and […]
Faith
During these times, I think some people are losing faith while others are seeking to find a new source of faith. Many lie in between. While taken a few years ago, I think this photo fits in with this narrative. Where is our faith, how do we cultivate it, is it rooted in the concrete […]
Somewhere….
This saw this woman while taking a walk on the beach. Regardless of one’s political, religious, spiritual sensibilities, how can one not be moved by this image. It’s almost as if she is holding on to the desert but looking out to the sea – the present and the future. Of course, I am creating […]
When Life Imitates Art
This is a photo of a clematis flower that quite by chance looks to me like an origami crane – a symbol of peace in Japanese culture. Even the petals are almost translucent like origami paper. I live right outside Washington DC and thought what an amazing message. There is a backstory to this photo […]
After the Fires II
Similar to my previous submission, this photo was also taken in Waterton National Park in Canada. It again represents the sustainability of nature even in the wake of damage.
After the Fires 1
This photo was taken in Wateron National Park in Canada. For me, it reflect the “bounty” that is possible after devastation – flowers after fire. What isn’t obvious in this photo necessarily is that I shot it while dodging lightning and raindrops after a nine-hour hike. To behold beauty and witness its potential demise in […]

Carbon Footprint Reduction
In this striking image of a commercial building, adorned with numerous air conditioning units and planned gardens spanning three different floors, we witness an innovative approach to mitigating the environmental impact of modern infrastructure. The abundance of air conditioning units suggests a response to climatic challenges, while the incorporation of planned gardens on multiple floors […]
