I’m based outside of Asheville, North Carolina, and trying to keep grounded!! “Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.” ― Marcus Aurelius
1/One more day of walking around Boston and getting out on the water, then comes the long drive back to South Carolina this Thursday. On the photography side, it has certainly been something outside my comfort zone, but how else do you grow?
Getting ready for the Tall Ships for the 250 celebration 🎉🎊 #Boston
What July 4th means to me in the context of what is occurring in our country. "Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which THEY stand by the country." Theodore Roosevelt #Blackandwhite
Another moment of tranquility from my recent visit . The a moment…close your eyes and let the water wash away your trouble which are only temporary! #waterfalls #mentalhealth #wellness
Sigh…the stupidity is profound. Yeah I hate what is going on so I won’t vote….then don’t f’n complain then
1/Visiting Old Friends It’s nice to feel at home, isn’t it? Since I moved to the Columbia, SC area in November 2025, I’ve been missing the Smoky Mountains, Blue Ridge Parkway, and all those waterfalls. Even though Western North Carolina is just a 2–3 hour drive away, I still feel a bit of a void
Fortunately I had the time to visit an old friend. I can say strongly enough how getting out in nature grounds me. #serenity #grounding #photopgrahersofbluesky
Even though I have been dabbling in B & W, some captures I feel present better in color. Enjoy your day, everyone!
1/Since I am in the land of no waterfalls, woods, or mountains, otherwise known as South Carolina, for the next few years, I am struggling to find subjects that I find interesting. BUT I will pursue opportunities to satisfy my needs for textures. #B&W
1/ Well, we are ½ way through Pride Month, and May/June is Men’s Mental Health Month. I know this is a rhetorical question, but I’ll just put it out there. Why can we be ourselves every month, respect each other’s lives and choices, and be more empathetic? #mentalhealth #pride2026
The search continues for interesting subjects. I just spoke to the manager of the years and he will let me wander “under supervision “ and let me snap away!! I’m excited!!
I’m not sure where today will take me but I can guarantee I will enjoy myself!
“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.” ― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations #blackandwhite #photogrphersofbluesky #serenity
Shine a light on what is important. “Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.” ― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations #waterfalls #photographersofbluesky
A great way to end the end the day after a very productive day with my equine clients and looking to the same tomorrow 😊 I hope your day was also peaceful
A little journey to Log Hollow Falls to check out how my knee is doing during rehab. I always try to find the light amidst the darkness in life. "You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." Marcus Aurelius #photographersofbluesky #blackandwhite
1/Spending time with an old friend. There is nothing like rolling down your windows, putting the 4Runner into 4-wheel drive, and listening to the crunch of the tires and the pinging of gravel on the undercarriage. #photographersofbluesky #blackandwhite #waterfalls #mentalhealth
Visiting an old friend on a short two waterfall hike so I can reconnect with Western NC.
