The primary colors of Red, Green, and Blue show up everywhere!

Happy 50th Anniversary to “Born To Run”! Bruce inspires me with his artistry, work ethic & down-to-earth nature. I admire his courage—as he said in Manchester: “The America I love…is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent administration.” Still The Boss! 🎸

Choose what you give your attention to wisely---it has the power to transform your perspective. #resist

Puppy angst at the doggy doctor’s office.

There’s something soothing about zipping along on a bike, with the wind wrapping around you ask you head for home at 10pm. #BlueSkyArtShow #bicycling #SouthKnoxville

Tonight marks the grand opening of the art exhibit, “The Joy of Wrong Turns,” at 5 p.m. My recent photographic work, as well as the paintings of Wes Roden, a young and rising art superstar are on display. Josh Collins, the talented image maker and poet, has curated an artful presentation.

I met @thiagoumex, a Havana based poet, and asked him if I could snap a couple of photos. He happily said yes, so I photographed him outdoors. My experience photographing complete strangers in Cuba was very positive. Truly the friendliest people I’ve ever met as a tourist in a foreign country.

Another insomnia inspired image.

Late night images! Having some sleep issues so thought I’d share these images. Sweet dreams! #insomnia

Can’t sleep! Here are a few late night photos to enjoy!

MUST-WATCH: Daniel Hodges, the Capitol police officer who was crushed by the Jan 6 rioters who pinned him against a wall, came back this week to ensure safety at Trump's inauguration and just spoke at the Capitol addressing the pardons. Daniel, America failed you. 💔

おはようございます。 今日は単なる呟きとさせてください。 1984、ディストピア小説の古典 耳障りの良い「自由」を騙る全体主義には注意する必要あり。 上げるべき声は上げ、私たちの未来を守りたいなと。 本日もよろしくお願いします。

These winter trees make a beautiful abstract image.

Sadly, we all know the answers to these questions 🫤🇺🇸

During the heat of the election I got tired of MAGA fascist wannabes thinking they were disparaging me by calling me libtard so I decided to embrace it. 👍🏻💙💙

This good looking boy showed up in the yard, a real sweet disposition. Called the number on his tag, told the owner where we live. Owner says “he’ll make his way home.” Maybe he did, but it seems reckless to let this pup run wild.

This is an homage to one of my favorite photographers Irving Penn; his version is named Med Glove.

Abandoned building with possibilities.

My photos “No Justice No Peace” and “Social Distancing from Racism” were selected to be part of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Commission: 10th Gallery of Arts Tribute. The Arts & Culture Alliance is presenting the work at the Emporium Center in Knoxville Friday, January 3rd, 5pm

Like this post if you love photography (so I know who to follow) 📸

It would’ve been a White Christmas if it was colder. As it turned out, it was a wet Christmas. #wetchristmas #kaizen #knoxville

A much needed spititual reboot at the Kadampa Buddhist Heart Sutra Mountain Retreat in Highlands, North Carolina. #kadampabuddhism #meditationforall

2000 Miles to Freedom - is great ! Carey Berg’s superb graphic novel blends personal sacrifice with historical events. Hyman’s courageous efforts to save his loved ones amidst religious persecution create a strong narrative; the juxtaposition with Jumbo's moral decline adds depth to It. #booksky

I plan to curate a list of #photo people — Not a starter pack, a list. This way, you can pin the list to your feed and follow #photographers in a custom feed on Bluesky. It should be a nice way to find new people when you log on. Drop me a line if you want me to add you. Please RT. Thank you!

Was remembering Eamon this afternoon and this heart shaped shadow appeared.

Feral Kytty (also known as Christina Horn) from a photo shoot I did to promote her new single l, “Bury Me” on Spotify. #feralkytty

Charles, a person I’d never met, was kind to allow me to take a few portraits.

It was a surreal moment: we were finishing a delicious dinner and look out to see a man shimmying up a utility pole. Upon further examination, he was a cable installer using his wits and a rope to go up the pole. I see here over and over again how people work so hard and are so resourceful. #pana

At sea.

It was a lazy Sunday for all beings in Panajachel. #guatemala #atitlanguatemala #pana #dogsofbluesky

Happy Thanksgiving

Meet Marco. He’s a terrific travel guide in the town of San Juan, Guatemala. Marco skillfully navigated the Rostro Maya en San Juan trail for us … we probably would have ended up god knows where without his guidance.
