Reflections

BLOG

Encounters in light and story — where the outer world stirs the spirit within.

This space is part journal, part gallery, part practice in deep seeing.

It’s where I gather stories, poems, portraits, and images that rise from everyday encounters—with people, places, and passing moments.

Some come from portrait sessions or photo strolls. Others from strangers met by chance. And some are simply still points in time where the world whispered something I didn’t know I needed to hear.

These are reflections—not just of what I see, but of what those moments reflect back to me.

About stillness.
About wonder.
About identity, or longing, or the mystery of being alive.

You’re welcome to linger.
To wander through images and words.
And maybe catch a glimpse of yourself along the way.
