When I look at the Awakening Dragon, I might or might not know anything about where and when the photo was taken, what Alister had in mind, what mood he was in, or what was going on in his life. It doesn't matter to me as a viewer. more
When it does come, the richer the friendship the deeper is the grief but the greater is the consolation from the good fortune of having had such a friend. Thank you John, my dear friend. more

I like grain, and I like what happens in the highlights with film. They seem to glow. I liken it to how analog recordings sound when driven. There’s a texture and natural compression that keeps the sound from breaking. more
Once the proposal was accepted, I began further research on global warming, sea level rise and saltwater intrusion. more
