Daily Coffee Talk~60/365
Some of my favorite photography memories come from the times that I traveled alone on journeys to remotes places like in these photos.

Forget me not~
As I go through my archives, I relive moments from my past travels and like a magical time travel machine, I find myself there again in the moment, looking into the eyes of other humans, feeling what I felt then and simply connecting. This is one of the many reasons I love photography, the real…

Discovering the ladder of understanding~
This morning I was driving my daughter to her weekend Chinese class and we had a very interesting conversation. She was complaining about her inability to always find interest in continuing to learn Chinese whilst living in Germany and this took us to musings about the human brain and how we, humans have so much…
