Mady...

She's growing up and finding her way. As the oldest, she tends to get more heat from me. My expectations are high and I think I'm tougher on her than I should be at times. Seeing this image....I see my little girl. Unsure...with lots of things rattling around in her noggin. More than anything, I'm hopeful she'll come to find the loving, creative, passionate person that she is. There will be no stopping her from there...

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.
