Stillness in the Rush~
This image was taken during one of my evenings in China, and it has stayed with me since the moment I pressed the shutter. The young policeman stood perfectly still while the world around him blurred into a rush of motion and noise. He didn’t flinch, didn’t turn his head, didn’t blink. He became like…

You Cannot Have Your Time Twice
There are moments when a simple sentence holds the power to shift perception entirely. This evening, as I revisited some of my favorite texts—words that I return to time and time again for their depth and continued revelations—I stumbled upon a phrase that struck me with fresh intensity: “You cannot have your time twice.” How…

Losing Sleep in Boracay~
Waking up predawn, watching the first light unfold, creating dreams to replace the ones I would have had under my sheets; sunrise photography is becoming a much loved practice. The luxury of not having to share the landscape, to admire the first light till your eyes are twinkly, to breath in the abundance of air…

A Time Meditation~ Ireland
Ireland is one of those places on earth where time plays by its own rules. It can not be confined to any human rules and it waxes and wanes as it sees fit. As soon as I set foot on this magical emerald Isle, my wonders about time, space, movement and change began brewing. It…

Mysteries are there to drive us into dreams
Would we want to live in a world where all was predetermined, where nothing was hidden, where the answers were handed to us at birth? I take the search and the mystery over certainty and the unknown with its myriad of possibilities over the already known. It is in the future where all adventures lie…
