a close look results in a broader view

with year’s end comes a change. it usually turns quite cold with storms fairly common. after, bright blue skies illuminate a new landscape. it’s clean and crisp and you can feel your breathe again. trees ice glazed sound chimes in the breeze.

now this guy is capturing life’s rich tapestry. i just stumbled across his paper cuts on his web site. what a stirring collection of hopeful and bittersweet work. i’m moved.

on October 31st i met my parents at the house they lived in for 46 years, raised my sister and me, and called home. we were there for a final inspection and a hand-off of keys to the new owners. i’ve been taking portraits of them since i learned to use a camera as a young boy, about 40 years ago. a few parting shots in and around the house, they did not disappoint. it is a bittersweet confirmation of time’s passage and of lives well lived.

not long after the moon rose, the lighthouse lit up and the scene turned – south beach, san juan island
