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.

Fills that hole in my heart that only Chirashi can.

Some guests are begrudgingly welcomed. A family of wild flying squirrel took refuge in our attic and found their way around the house – through the walls. They are tiny, and well-behaved compared to their nasty Gray Squirrel cousins. This one liked taking almonds from my hand. After a month we blocked any entrance they might use and they moved on. Guests are most welcome when they don’t over stay. Fuji XT2 – Fujinon 50mm f/2.0. Redonkulous high ISO. #GrainIsGood. #NatureGeek

The world is changing. If you don’t adapt, you’re screwed. This black Swallowtail Butterfly emerged from it’s chrysalis at about the same time that I converted to shooting mirrorless APS-C everywhere but in the studio.

I give thanks for any flower with the balls to come up after this long and snowy winter.

But there is always room for improvement.

As I reflect on this Fourth of July I’m reminded that what truly makes this country great is the diversity of input to all of elements of your society. There is no place else on earth I’d rather have our little, blended family; A Jewish city boy and Lutheran farm girl raising a Cambodian adoptee to the tenants of Moses, Jesus, the Buddha and whoever else makes sense. It’s a great time and we are in a great place.

Don’t let anyone tell you this is not a great country.
