Sky Floor

January 30, 2021 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle photo of a golden hour mackerel sky reflected over still waters of Stafford Forge Wildlife Management Area.

Altocumulus clouds glory in reticulated patterns. Like a well kept parquet floor who’s played host to countless balls and dance. The glimmering lights waltz upon the sky shimmering and bending, passing off as the scale of the fish.

The Grind

January 26, 2021 by Greg Molyneux

14mm square format photo depicts a fiery sunset over the lake framed between the contrasted silhouettes of two small pine trees.

Tectonic forces do their work. Ploughing their inescapable hell slowly and without discrimination. They grind—hard. Such is their subtlety as to be motionless to the eye though with a power as immovable as gravity.

Let’s Go

January 21, 2021 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle photograph of a fiery sunset burning intense reds, yellows, and orange across the whole of the sky. All reflected by the calm mirror reflection of the Stafford Forge lake.

A weary world turns to 2021 seeking relief in the form of warm hug with the tender promise everything’s going to be all right. We’re ready for something positive. 2020 set a low bar and should not be hard to better, nevertheless let’s make sure we bounce back together. Let’s go.

Intersections

November 27, 2020 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle sunset photo reflected over the lake at Stafford Forge Wildlife Management Area. Pastel colored clouds form an X shape pattern water reflected in symmetry as sunset gives way to blue hour.

Where does the writing go when you set out with nary an end nor a goalpost. How does it flow? Set out on The Union Market deck I let my mind snake its way through the labyrinth at the tip of ten fingers. Is this how one gets into creative writing?

In My Own Time

November 20, 2020 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle sunset photograph made at Stafford Forge Wildlife Management Area. Intensely vibrant pastel hues color an array of clouds pulled across the sky reflecting atop the undulating pond water.

We find help for our mind, body, and soul in many places. Some planned and intention, others serendipitous and seemingly sent by coincidence if not fate. It is important to avail ourselves to help, especially in the times it is most difficult to do so. And no matter how hard it gets we can always come back to our breath. It’s the one thing nothing but death can take from us.

Autumn We Dance Again

September 22, 2020 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle landscape photo made at blue hour. Clear evening blue skies with a subtle pastel horizon reflect over the still water of Stafford Forge Wildlife Management Area.

Whether by fall or by autumn, people love this time of year. I counted myself among their number as a child, but as an adult it has not been so. This has proved a season of struggle. I seek to recapture the magic I once knew. I yearn to dance again with Autumn.

Endeavor

December 5, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Sunset photo over sand and a calm pond.

Endeavor to try new things. Endeavor to make new paths. Endeavor to challenge yourself. To push yourself. Endeavor to reject the voice that says no. Endeavor to forgive. Endeavor to learn. Endeavor to conquer. Not others. Not things. Endeavor to conquer yourself. Endeavor to be each moment. It’s the only moment we’ve got. Endeavor to […]

Set Down

November 28, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

Fiery sunset photo over still water at Stafford Forge Wildlife Management Area.

It was easy living at sunset yesterday afternoon. A soothing burn caught fire over the calm water and quiet sky at Stafford Forge. Alone in the stand I stood, taking in the slow smolder and making my brackets. So easy was the pace I was able to step back from my camera equipment to breathe […]

Frame It

March 2, 2017 by Greg Molyneux

NJ Pinelands photo of a controlled burn smoke plume training across the horizon at sunset.

It’s a quarter to eight on March 2, 2017, and I am whiling away the hours until Nintendo unleashes its latest bundle of joy upon the world. As midnight strikes across timezones the world over the Nintendo Switch, and, more importantly, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will begin its quest into consumer homes […]
