We are all spinning tops...

‘Life changes in an instant. The ordinary instant’ ~Joan Dideon

 

Utica was a reminder.

The importance of family.

The impact of loss.

...and change – the only true constant.

 

These moments.

These times.

These faces.

 

Words.

Sentences.

Paragraphs.

Chapters in our story.

The mark we make while we’re able to make it.

 

We are all spinning tops…

…until one day we’re not.

Commit...

Mid-week in our Maine vacation I decided to switch things up a bit by shooting B&W in camera.  Typically I document in color and convert during the editing phase. While not a huge leap...in a world full of choices, making one and adding this constraint was super liberating...and I couldn't be happier with the results.  I've been doing this a lot more ever since and it's really helped me focus my efforts and attention....photographically and in all aspects of my life.

Good things happen when I commit. When I go all in.

These images kick off as my mornings did in Maine...alongside Finn for a walk @ Back River Bend Boat Yard. The bulk of the rest of them were taken at Popham Beach...one of our favorite places in the world. I really love our days there. The beach is huge, the waters are calm and the tides put on a spectacular show.
