Here's what I say Thank You for:
When I was "yay-high" I thought I was going to be a pencil artist. I wanted to draw comic books and live in stories. Something happened - life, puberty, the News channels... I don't know what, just 'something' and all that changed.
I didn't find a platform for creativity - a place to drain my energy - until I was halfway through my career in the military. I realize now that I was waay off course back then.
When I say Thank You, I'm thanking you for lending me the means to get here.
You know, Jim Rohn said that if you want to get ahead you've got to set a better sail, keep it maintained and stay sharp for course corrections. However, a ship doesn't vector without the wind and it sure as hell doesn't float without the water.
Thank you for being those things for me. Your patronage and your support enabled me to create the eight pieces laid out below.
Cheers to uphill journies- the view is always better as you go.
I just can't stop falling in love with her and Avendasora. I captured this in Seattle but it feels like far and away. Keep reading...

I loved Avendasora so much I had to make her available from this angle, too. See Avendasora Leaf up close.

"In every winter's heart there is a quivering spring, and behind the veil of each night there is a smiling dawn."

Symphony
A twist on Concordia. Some images beg to be seen for who and what they are, and not just the colors they bare. See it larger here.
Avendasora
It's the color of action. The color of love and the color of passion. It is the color or rage that blooms behind your eyes. It is the color of lust her hands leave on your thigh. It is the fire in a peace that's ready for war. It is the pounding of your heart ever more, ever more. Read more.
Eternity Beach
Eternity beach wasn't captured in 2017, it just took me five years to finish. Read about my first ever photograph >>here<<.
