  • Take Leave

    Take Leave

    14mm wide angle HDR sunset packed with cotton candy pastel clouds reflected over the late summer salt marsh.
    Take Leave — 14mm | f/8 | ISO 100 | 7 Bracketed Exposures

    Take leave
    pay heed
    Hear your body take time to breathe

    Unwind
    free mind
    In the moment your soul will find

    Destress
    full press
    Permit yourself the chance to rest

    Be still
    free will
    Heal your heart and hope will fill

  • The April Fool

    The April Fool

    Moody 35mm photo of a yellow daffodil blossom shot wide open with a bokeh rich shallow depth of field.
    The April Fool — 35mm | f/1.4 | ISO 100 | EXP 1/320

    The April Fool tramples his path
    Running roughshod through this world
    Joyous conceit
    Close-minded and haughtily assured
    Gilded, unperturbed

    Dazzled masses froth over such trappings
    The success, the power, the sprawling paper card manse propped up on the hill
    How do I get mine?
    Follow the April Fool
    For he knows not he knows nothing

  • Sky Floor

    Sky Floor

    14mm wide angle photo of a golden hour mackerel sky reflected over still waters of Stafford Forge Wildlife Management Area.
    Sky Floor — 14mm | f/8 | ISO 100 | 7 Bracketed Exposures

    Motes
    dance upon the sky floor
    shimmering scales of light glittering iridescence
    Lithe as the fish to water gliding gracious

    Essence
    turning she bends the light
    prismatic luster scintillate all senses
    Now you see how time does pass

  • I Was Once

    I Was Once

    moon rise over Parkertown Cove at Parkertown Docks at blue hour. This was October 2020's second full moon making it a blue moon.
    I Was Once — 100mm | f/8 | ISO 100 | EXP 3.2 sec

    I was once new
    Unseen and strong the becoming

    I was once waxing
    Energetically growing keen to know

    I was once full
    Brightly shining radiant life

    And now I wane
    Aged and worn fated to winter

    Coda

    Upon the last minute recommendation of Jonathan Carr we made our way to a new location to make photographs: Parkertown Docks. This splendid location tucked away along Parker Cove offers 360 degree views featuring salt marsh, bay, bay beach, Atlantic City, and some old pilings. Tons of opportunity here, and no doubt a new go-to spot to watch thunderstorms roll in. Crazy to think this gem has been hiding in plain sight unbeknownst to me in my 27 years living in the area. It’s always a win to shed a bit more ignorance in the face of new discovery.

    It wasn’t intentional (sunset was the goal) but we hung around through blue hour for the full moon rise. It so happened to be the second full moon of October, making this a blue hour blue moon rise.

  • I Knew You When

    I Knew You When

    14mm wide angle HDR photo of Cedar Run Dock Road salt marsh right at sunset. Pink tones kiss a low level cloud deck to color up the sky.
    I Knew You When — 14mm | f/8 | ISO 100 | 7 Bracketed Exposures

    I knew you when I would smile
    I knew you when the world turned true
    And people could accept one another.

    I knew you when I would see
    I knew you when honor shone through
    And people could trust one another.

    I knew you when I would feel
    I knew you when I reached with soft words to touch you
    And people could share with one another.

    I knew you when I would hope
    I knew you when an open heart taught what to do
    And people could love one another.

    I knew you when I knew me.

  • Where Goings

    Where Goings

    14mm wide angle photo made at blue hour over the bright green salt marsh of Cedar Run Dock Road. Low cumulus clouds race across the sky and reflect in a still water pool.
    Where Goings — 14mm | f/8 | ISO 100 | 7 Bracketed Exposures

    Clouds rush by as years
    Quickened and blurred
    Life dashes
    Drift and drift and drift
    Have I a cloud?
    A spirit to float on present wind?
    Nay, I am a tether anchored in past,
    Chained
    Worry escapes to future where is hope,
    Abandoned
    Tears streak a far off gaze,
    Chastened
    Molded in past
    Weighed in present
    Promised in future

  • There and Back Again

    There and Back Again

    Sunset photo burns over summer salt marsh.
    There and Back Again — 14mm | f/8 | ISO 100 | 7 Bracketed Exposures

    A swollen tide with ease to lend
    Face kissed with salt the sweet scent friend.
    Your heart beats slow about an oxbow bend
    To the place you take there and back again.
