Mind the Gap
So what's this "Blog" about... It's about nothing and everything. It's about what interests me creatively: photography, drawing, writing, painting, and others. Sometimes, I get caught up in an idea or a thought, and I can't let it go; it must go somewhere. So here is where it's going to go. It's a mess... but it's my mess. I hope you enjoy it, but mind the gap when crossing.

Bok Tower - Photo Assignment
Now and then, I venture forth on a Self Photo Assignment. I assign myself tasks and challenges to create, what I hope, excellent photos.
