I had the great pleasure of travelling to Jamaica and I was sure to bring my camera along. I was not there for a great period of time and did not go to a great deal of places – so images taken are not me capturing the spirit of Jamaica – but what the tripContinue reading “A Walk in Jamaica”

When Night Comes
When my last day turns into my last hour, what will remain of me? When my last hour turns into my last breath, will there be anything left? What will I have made of all these years? What story will be told in those mourning tears? As the sun sets in my spirit and noContinue reading “When Night Comes”
Capturing a City (Travel Photography)
Many times when I travel, I now try to get a photo outing done, both as a way to relax and a way to explore. I admire artists who do street photography, and how one captures the natural flow of life in a town or city. I am not quite sure the way I captureContinue reading “Capturing a City (Travel Photography)”
Finding Gratitude Through Everyday Beauty
Gratitude is a powerful tool. And although many people are championing it in certain spaces, I believe itis still strongly undervalued. To get the biggest bang for your buck in “gratitude”, it is required to be integrated into your life beyond the shallow concept of being grateful and to an intentional practice of gratitude. IContinue reading “Finding Gratitude Through Everyday Beauty”
On Writing “Chasing Sunrise”
‘Chasing Sunrise’ came quite naturally for me. I get up early and I get out early. With that said, I am often catching a sunrise. The first one I tried to catch on camera was in Myrtle Beach. With a new Fujifilm camera in hand and such a beautiful backdrop, I had to try. So,Continue reading “On Writing “Chasing Sunrise””
The Power of Play
Creation has become my playground I have been seeing a lot of content on the power of play. Many people do not typically think of adults requiring “play” time. But, for the same reason kids play, there is an argument, that adults should as well. I agree. This does not mean we need to buildContinue reading “The Power of Play”
Photographing People
Memorialization My journey with a camera began well before my first casual photo outing in college. I may have even received my own point-and-shoot camera in middle school – because some of my first photo files go back that far. But, I know for sure by the time I was in the middle of myContinue reading “Photographing People”
Not Always
Every midnight turns to dawn if we just hold on. And there is no day in our lives where the sun won’t rise. All that goes away returns again some day. What is now, will not be always, all nights do turn to days. Every midnight turns to dawn if we just hold on. MarchContinue reading “Not Always”
Lincoln Street Art Park
Capturing Beauty and Framing Specificity. I travelled to the Lincoln Street Art Park in Detroit as one of my first intentional photo outings with my Fujifilm camera. I had not seen the park when passing by or just stumbled across its existence. I was not going for a work event or friend outing. I wasContinue reading “Lincoln Street Art Park”
A New Home (Dearest Lover)
If I had to select one of my favorite pieces from Dearest Lover, I feel it would be “A New Home”. I still remember the spark that came alive in me when the first line came into my mind – “I’ve been looking for a place to set my heart down” - and then the joyContinue reading “A New Home (Dearest Lover)”
