Welcome to my little corner of the net. Thanks for visiting! I am an elder Millennial who is a relatively new denizen of Roswell, New Mexico, an amateur photographer, computer technician, web developer, and a mechanical clock and watch enthusiast. Here, you'll find links to my [socials] and contact info, my photography [portfolio], a short [biography], maybe a [blog] entry or two, and some [other] fun stuff. Below, you can read my [newsfeed] which highlights minor changes to the site as well as brief life updates. Also, you may view a sample of my current favorite photos in the [spotlight] section below.

This space is designed and designated to be where I show off my creative side. Social media is inherently toxic, so I don't participate as often as I used to. Also, there is always the danger of being locked into an ecosystem where we users have little control or say. Hence, why I maintain my own little acre of cyberspace.
Please feel free to follow along if you are interested in my story or my work.

Lichen Forest
Sunday, April 21, 2024
Yesterday morning, Rudi and I drove to the mountains for a day hike and to practice our landscape photography in the Lincoln National Forest. Usually, we have horizon-to-horizon clear skies and intense sunshine. This weekend, however, it has been overcast and cool. As spoiled as I am now with my daily dose of fusion photon therapy, it was nice to have some different weather to photograph in. We came back tired and with lovely atmospheric images of lichen covered boulders and fire scarred trees.
Photowalk & First Prints
Saturday, April 13, 2024
Rudi printed one of my favorite images from several years ago earlier last week, and today, I finally framed it with a custom mat made with help from a very nice person at the Hobby Lobby here in town. I'd like to hang it in our office suite at the college. If approved, it will be my very first photograph available to view IRL in a public space. Sarah is also on my ass about selling some of my work, so that may become a thing too in the near future.
"Freedom" and "Ownership"
Thursday, March 21, 2024
Like perhaps many people in my culture, I aspire to own things. I also aspire to be as free as is possible. Where I struggle is in the understanding of what that means within the context of a broader view of humanity that I hold. The fact that I will soon be dead kind of means that I can't really "own" anything. I also doubt very much that there is such a thing as unfettered personal liberty or, probably, even free will.
