The unexamined life is not worth living.” – Socrates

Sometimes the winter kicks you in the butt and you just can’t – or don’t want to – get outside to get your creative on.  My creativity definitely diminishes in direct proportion to how much I am shivering, or if my fingers are too numb to press the shutter button.  And since my creative starts …

2020 – Building Creative Energy

2020 – In hindsight, was all about a gathering in of energy and creativity. We didn’t know it at the time, but we were actively resetting our social, family, financial and professional worlds – all isolated in our little bubbles – but as an uncoordinated, parallel, world effort.

Submersive Activity

I’ve spent hundreds of hours underwater and to me, the most intriguing part is the boundary layer between the air and water – where the elements, physics and perception blend.
