Profile
I live in a small town you probably have never heard of in central Virginia, not too far from the Blue Ridge Mountains. Photography is my way to share the beauty of the charmed corner of the world in which I live.
I love doing close ups of objects, especially with unusual angles. My favorite photos are my macros. I carry a camera everywhere I go so I am always prepared for that next shot.

Art
Writing
Morning Sheets
Softness unwrinkled, smoothed by time.
Loneliness
Suffocating stillness envelopes the room
On Cold Nights
On cold nights, when no moon rises
