🌟Photography: My Source of Inspiration
Images That Ground Me When the World Feels Unsteady
When I’m not following the news, learning what’s happening in our government, trying to influence our elected officials, or writing about it, photography and music are two of my sources of inspiration.
I love taking photos in nature, in urban and rural settings, of family, friends, and passersby, of local events and activities, and of places I visit while traveling. I’m also inspired by the photography—and artwork—of others.
If you’re similarly moved by visual imagery, here’s a collection of my photos hosted at SmugMug. It’s organized by location:

I’m not trying to sell anything. Just preserving memories—and sharing them with anyone who finds joy in images, places, and moments. I update my gallery occasionally with new photos—and I have some updating to do. Other current events have been keeping me busy!
