This was taken in the Chimayo area of New Mexico. The walls surrounding this house / compound must have been at least 10 feet high, and as I was walking along the wall, really wanting to know what was on the other side, I came upon this half open door. For a split second, I thought the nude statue was a real person and I was really embarrassed for us both.

I took this photograph at Chapman Dam State Park in the Allegheny Forest. When looking for subject matter to photograph, I am drawn to the small things that many times go unnoticed. This area of the spillway isn’t very eye catching at first glance, but beauty can be found in the most unlikely of places. The broken concrete is interspersed with rouge wildflowers and the remains of many a meal enjoyed by the local wildlife. From close vantage points, nature’s detail, even the carcass of a deceased crayfish, holds incredible beauty.

In the land of the Renaissance, I found the mother of all masks, and the mother of all mask-makers. She was shrouded in mystery.

Sunset songs can lead you through thought perambulations, the ramifications of which are oft forgot by morning.

Jim Bishop, the man responsible for "the largest one-man construction project in the country, quite possibly the world," is as complex as his creation.

Taken from the fantastic staircase that leads to the mountaintop village of Longji, China, this photo depicts a lone rice farmer tending epic terraces. I stopped to snap the picture, and my traveling companions continued onward without me. Alone, I honored his toils by capturing the image, and alone, he tended the plants.

The mixture of ancient and new captures the imagination and paints a vivid picture of the social, cultural, and aesthetic differences time can create in the collective human psyche.

Bird on lonely piers chirrup to peers and fluff feathers to signal some strange bird-thoughts that humans simply cannot understand.

All paths do not lead
To the same destination,
Yet we still travel.

The Fool's game is one untamed, full of laughter gales and bawdy tales. Let him sing to you and you'll blush.

This picture was taken in Savannah, Georgia, right by the Savannah River. The city is heavy with history, and you can physically feel it when you are down below.

The yellow waters of the Li River feed the soul, but do not drink the water.

This was taken at Colorado’s Palmer Park. We love this spot for its view over the Springs and for the chill vibes it offers. Nothing complements a winter’s day better than hiking through the Colorado brush and encountering other men and women of the Mountain State.

Trees so bent by winds made the world tilt and sway with oceanic breezes.

This is one of the last sights I laid eyes on at Hearst Castle. It is just one of a few indoor pools on the property, part of a series of pools connected by tunneled channel-like waterways. Standing there, marveling at the expert craftsmanship of the people who laid the millions of tiny tiles that form the hundreds of mosaics below and above water, is something I will never forget. The pool was so grand, I’m pretty sure it knows it and revels in its reflection every chance it gets.

“We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.” <br>
-Paulo Coelho, <cite>The Alchemist</cite>
