A still life study with harsh lighting, silhouettes, found objects, botanicals and possible metaphors.

The seedlings of a dandelion puff are what I as a child learned were considered wishes. You make a wish and blow them away into the world. An already beautiful sentiment, isn’t it? Wishes and reality. But can we still see the beauty and the possibilities? How do we create and continue to dream or build when life shifts us in another direction? Or is the experience just what we needed?

A vertical, shallow-depth-of-field photograph showing a pile of dandelion seeds with their fluffy white parachutes scattered on a light-colored surface in the foreground. In the blurry background, a clear glass bottle with a few dandelion stems in it is visible, creating a soft, warm-toned scene.
A detailed, abstract close-up of a dandelion facing its silhouette. The image is shot from a low angle, showing the dark silhouettes of the full, fluffy dandelion heads and their stems, with the soft, delicate filaments of the seeds creating a halo effect. The lighting from behind makes the dandelions appear as detailed shadows against the bright background.
A close-up, low-angle shot of a dandelion stem and a partially blown dandelion head lying on a textured, light yellow surface. The stem is diagonal across the frame, and a scattering of individual dandelion seeds with their parachute-like structures are spread out around it, casting long, dark shadows. The overall image has a warm, sepia-toned filter.

I’ve been conflicted as to what to do with this website for some time. It’s gone through several attempts related to personal projects and portfolio, but I think for now, we’ll just leave at a personal blog for self expression. I don’t do well with boxes, and this is the broadest one I can manage.

Here there will be art, photos, ideally adventure related, general musings, and of course, food.

Hello World.

Again. 🙂
