Photography

For as long as I can rememaber, I’ve been fascinated with color, shape, proportion, and a sense of place. Photography can be as poetic and compelling as the written word. I hope you enjoy my visual, if oftentimes accidental, poetry.

Vice Verses

Vice Verses coherently suggests that everything has two sides. My verse, half-mocking and highly personal daydreaming reveals strata of experience and takes you to the edge of what I know and hopefully induces you to explore farther.

About Me

Updated September 20, 2012

Father, writer, poet, producer, director, actor, singer, guitarist, graphic designer, raconteur, zoetic, excellent typist, determined, profound speaker, zero-gravity thinker, sage advisor, gruntled, website builder, zetetic, skeptic, intermittently quixotic, historian, foodie…approaching all endeavors with a bit of Sprezzatura.

As Jack Kerouac wrote, “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” This work is never done.

WW2 LETTERS OF PVT MELVIN JOHNSON

“Heroes are often the most ordinary of men.” This quote, by Henry David Thoreau eloquently epitomizes my grandfather and so many like him that left the familiar behind as ordinary men and women, and sacrificed greatly, sometimes everything on foreign soil to become uncommon heroes. From Utah Beach, to Cherbourg, through hedgerows and mud, through French cities like Laval, La Haye du Puits, Mantes-Gassicourt, and Luneville, the 79th Infantry Division and my grandfather cut a wide swath through France. These are his letters as he fought across France.
