Beauty in the Mundane

When I close my eyes and dream, I often dream of far away places. In some cases I see images I have seen in digital articles, social media and books. It’s not often I see the park just 800 meters from my home.

6 Months – Time to Re-Examine

t’s been 6 months since my decision to recreate myself, retake control of my future and chart my own path. While I have been sick this entire week and that may have been clouding my mindset, given the not so positive thoughts in my head, it seems it’s time to Re-Examine and take a step forward.

2021 – My year in photos

It’s that time of year again where many look back and prepare for a new year. I am one of those people. This activity is really hard wired in my brain. I need to look back not only to learn, but to truly put the year to rest and file it away. This year was […]

Shattered

I had planned on sharing some of my favorite images from the past few months around a theme of be still. I had edited the photos. Gathered my thoughts. I had every intention of sharing them this week. Then our week was shattered by the wrongful death of George Floyd and the chain of events […]

Finding Words and Inspiration in this Strange Time

I have been silent here on the blog. My last post was from January, what now seems like years ago. Travel? Hanging out with friends? Walking a new city? Eating out? This past 5 or so weeks at home makes that trip feel like a distant memory. Times sure are different now. This “Shut In” […]

Reflections on Seattle

I was fortunate to get to celebrate my friend, and friendships, in Seattle last weekend. It was a short trip arranged by my close friend’s wife. When asked to go I jumped at the opportunity. Any time I can garner time and experiences with these two fine fellas is worth any amount of $$ or […]

Gnat’s Ozark Ramble

As I write this, I am buried in work. Not caught up on my fall home owner chores. We had our first dinner as our family unit in two weeks and only the second or third in the past 6 weeks. Life. Is. Nuts. But…..I find myself energized, inspired and at peace. Why? Aside from […]

Views from Vietnam, Cambodia and Taiwan

Greetings folks. Just got back from a big, long work trip Vietnam, Cambodia and Taiwan. It was a long few weeks on the road. But an amazing one. I use these trips as a springboard for creativity and use photography to keep me aware, awake and inspired. I often walk and explore where ever I […]

The Great Catch Up Post of 2019

It’s been a LOOOOOONNNNNGGGG time coming, but I am finally taking a moment to catch up on the gnat blog and fill you all in on what has been happening. As much as things change, some things stay the same. My spring and summer has been filled with bikes, family and photography. As I look […]

Ireland – The Postcard Series

I can’t believe it’s been two weeks since I’ve been back from Ireland. While the two weeks seem like an eternity, I can close my eyes and immediately go back. It was an incredible trip. Filled with surprise and delight, some drama back home with our dog and the final challenge of getting home as […]
