Stairs and Escapes

They bring us up, they bring us down, they can save us. they can be artful, they can be dangerous, they can be heavy and strong yet flow like water. Bronze flows, cement hangs overhead offering support to carry us.

Bower of Sanctuary

the age and strength of this bower of protection humble me. Sanctuary is found here.

2500 years and counting - Baobab trees store up to 32,000 gallons in their trunks. Majestic doesn’t get close.

Iconic New York City

My perspective of NYC is that it is a reflection of the 8 million people moving thru it on any given day. We are a blur, we are plucky New Yorkers, gritty. Ever changing.

The City that NEVER Sleeps

Lights on Broadway never dim.

No more beautiful architecture than this.

Up above the clouds of NYC this beauty shines on.

I love the Night Lights Baby!

A little splash at night to feel the vibes in the city that never sleeps.

Radio City Nights

Radio City never gets old it represents so much over so many decades in the Big Apple.

Grand Central Terminal ceiling

Crazy to think this peek into the galactic is painted backwards. The only celestial body painted correctly is Orion. Vanderbilts, who built Grand Central said it was done that way ‘as if God was looking down into GCT.’

Radio waves

all the lights we love to see in the city that never sleeps

Friction NYC

all the rushing all night long static

Slot Canyons

Trails of the Wind

Slot canyons of the West are overwhelming to photograph. A gift of nature-of water, wind, sand. How can rock be as fluid as silk. I see roses, stems, blossoms all within these rocky fissures, splits and ruptures. Striated rock faces like liquid. So soft and strong.

Starry Starry Nights

The Western night sky exposes just how small we are on Earth. The Milky Way dazzles and the air glow radiates colors we cannot believe we are seeing. They cannot be real. They are. We are such a tiny participant within this universe.

Some people just stand out. And Shaz is a standout. Passed by British actor Shaz Duncan Brewster in Central Park when she was in town for the Premiere of Enola Holmes 2. Graciously grabbed a few frames.

Murmuration!!

Catching the air against the blue sky and the beginning of the sunset light as they turned in unison added the punch this shot required.
