I’ve had this post on my list of to-do’s for a while now. I reckon it’s about time I get to it. For the last year or so I’ve had the good fortune to work with Delta Magazine on some wonderful documentary projects. They pretty much let me roam about, find something I want to [...]

What’s seems awful at first is often better than we realize. Earth shattering statement, right?  I suspect you probably have never heard that before.  Just like you’ve probably never had chicken soup after catching a cold, held your breath while crossing a bridge, or made a wish while blowing a dandelion.  I know it’s true.

But it seems I am especially drawn to the flames this year, as I’ve found myself repeatedly wandering these smoke-filled expanses. I am especially proud of this image, [...]

I admit I’ve borrowed the term iHolga from my buddy Chris Williams.  But, hey, it’s a great term.  And like Chris, I probably use my ipho — err, iHolga — as much, if not more, than any camera I own.  It’s almost always with me, and the camera keeps getting better and better.  So I [...]

This was one of the eeriest afternoons I think I’ve ever had. I didn’t intend to stay at Bob Woods Elementary for more than 5 or 10 minutes. I wound up staying for nearly 4 hours. As soon as I walked into this classroom the hair on my neck stood up, and I felt as [...]
