Tattered Glory: Reflections this 4th of July
As the 4th of July approaches, I look at this tattered flag and see a reflection of us all. We may be worn and frayed, yet we hold together with resilience and quiet grace. Even in its weathered state, it reminds us that true strength is found not in perfection, but in standing firm through the storms.
A Thousand Kisses Deep: Reflection in Song
Leonard Cohen’s A Thousand Kisses Deep is more than a song. It’s a meditation on missed chances, quiet goodbyes, and the silent weight of paths not taken. In just a few verses, Cohen captures the bittersweet balance between reflection and renewal, reminding us that while the past lingers, the future is always waiting to unfold.
Creative Vision of a Thirteen-Year-Old
A crisp autumn afternoon, a borrowed Canon DSLR and lens, and a thirteen-year-old’s fresh perspective. What followed was a creative collaboration between father and son, capturing WWII aircraft at a traveling exhibition.
LifeTracks: Melody and Memory
From crowded boardwalks to quiet desert mornings, my life is a mosaic of moments, each etched with its own sound. Whether alone or with loved ones, these memories live on through the songs that scored them. LifeTracks is my story told through music, a personal journey where every note brings back a feeling, a face, a place. Join me as I explore the soundtrack of a life lived in motion.
Havre de Grace: Bay Light and iPhone
I hadn’t planned on taking photos that day. I had no camera bag, no gear. It was just a spontaneous drive through Harford County, Maryland. But as I reached Havre de Grace and stood by the bay, I couldn’t resist. With only my iPhone in hand, I wandered The Promenade, drawn in by the quiet and the winter light.
Kindlewood
Years ago, I stumbled upon something quietly extraordinary: a live show by Kindlewood at the Black Cat in Washington, D.C. What began as casual support for a work colleague turned into a night I’ll never forget. Though the band has since parted ways, their haunting, heartfelt sound endures. It’s still streaming, still stirring, and still worth discovering.
