With our ongoing work on Garden Moxie, I’ve taken time during our travels to look at minimalism in nature. What struck me was while nature could appear to be simple from a distance, up close it’s amazingly complex. Here’s a series of three photographs that compares the root and branch systems of plants in Colorado…

Senna | Sunday Morning Drive | Video
Back in 2015, I began research for a movie about Ayrton Senna, one of the finest racing drivers the world has ever witnessed. There’s been several excellent documentary movies about Senna, including this one from 2011. Our movie is different. It’s based on Aryton’s life but is fictionalized. We explore what it will take to find…

But, the other half of questions I receive are about how I plan for a photoshoot. It’s About Storytelling While the evolving technology available to photographers is of interest…
Scheming
I recently learned a new word from my friend Charlee HM: scheming. Sounds ominous. But the context in which she used it was her observation of the planning that AJ Martina and I were doing while on the recent Gothic Girl Art Magazine photoshoot with Charlee. And in that context, yes, AJ and I were scheming.…
Now | 2018
I first came across Derik Sivers Now concept at the end of 2016. One of the things I love about his concept is that it’s forward-looking. I’m a person who learns what I can from the past and then I continue to move forward. Dwelling on things and people who “could’ve” or “should’ve” is not in my…
Winter | Holiday
It’s a cold winters day. The perfect time to take a look back on a year. More importantly, it’s time to look forward to next year with family and friends. Happy New Year!
Aspen Trees | Life
Aspen trees are beautiful. But there’s much more happening underground with them that leads to their remarkable life. One of the unusual things about Aspen trees is that the “tree” part that we view is actually equivalent to an air root. Simply put, the actual tree lives underground and what we normally think of as a…
