“New research suggests these ancient-looking, armoured fish may live far longer than scientists previously thought — in some cases, more than 400 years.”

People sometimes tell me to put down the camera and “just enjoy the moment,” but making the photograph is how I engage with the moment. A picture isn’t like a family home movie that only matters if you know the people.
A photograph stands on its own, the same way art in a museum does. Some images connect, some don’t — and the viewer brings their own meaning to it. That’s why I keep making photographs.

I’m finally heading home to Virginia after two months in Michigan settling my dad’s and brother’s estates. On the way home, I returned to the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Garden in Ann Arbor. I last visited a couple of years ago when I needed my soul to heal, and coming back now — stronger, steadier — closed the loop on everything that’s happened since.
People sometimes tell me to put down the camera and “just enjoy the moment,” but the photograph is what brings the moment back. And even for someone who’s never been there, an image can still matter. A photo doesn’t transfer my memories — it sparks theirs. Light, color, and mood give the viewer something to connect with, even without knowing what I was going through when I pressed the shutter.
The garden remains a peaceful place for my heart and soul.
