Finding Time or Making Time?

There’s a common refrain we’ve probably all heard, whether it’s in regards to photography or to something else. You’ll hear people say, “I haven’t found the time to do X thing.” Most of the time when people say this, it’s just an offhand remark. But offhand remarks can be telling of our mindsets...

Opinions are everywhere. We all have them, and some of us (like me) publish them online! Especially here in the world of photography, when you get right down to it, most of the things that are written or recorded about photography are opinions...

Music From the Doctor's Office
|
Throughout my life, I've spent many hours at the doctor's office. During that time, I enjoy writing music on my laptop. These short unfinished electronic musical themes are just doodles per se to pass the time. I hope you enjoy them, and thanks for listening.
