I Want To Live, Not Simply Exist
Today is the day that I finally decided to make some more changes in my life. I want to live, not simply exist; I’m still full of life, feel young and free, and despite being in my 40’s, I’m forever young at heart. Since I met Amelia in 2020, I somehow managed to go through four laptop computers and two desktop ones. Today was the day that I finally decided to give away my old PC desktop computer and buy a brand new MacBook Pro. I have decided that with the time still left, I need to be creative and share my gift of writing and photography. January 31, 2023

In A Sea Full Of Oysters, I Finally Found My Pearl
Today I went to visit my mom for the day, and returned to the house where I had spent the majority of my childhood. My mom took me to lunch at my friends restaurant. When we walked in, we were seated immediately, though nobody from my home town seemed to recognize me. My friend who owned the restaurant asked me if I was okay, as she hadn’t seen me post any recent updates on Facebook. I explained that yes, I was doing just fine and that she wouldn’t see any status updates as I had deleted my social media awhile ago. She could see the pain in my eyes and…

All The Words That Never Left My Mouth
All the things I wished I had said have become all the words that never left my mouth. This short entry is the culmination of all the things I wished I had said when I said my last goodbyes to the life I left behind. Whenever I think of the 1990’s, I’m reminded of summer camp and the emotions and memories that accompanied that experience. Attempting to capture an emotion, or the feelings of one’s heart is as futile and fleeting as if one were to place them into a box stored high upon a shelf. Feelings are not a person or a place, yet they often consist of all…

Discussing Rose Haven With Ron Biegel
The following is a bit of correspondence I recently had from Ron Biegel. Recently, I was discussing my visit to Rose Haven in Acra, New York, and the abandoned swimming pool I photographed in 2011. Since then, I have heard from numerous people who have had various ties to the former resort, including Jim Velsor, who sent me a series of vintage photographs of the resort. Ron asked me to post the audio recording along with a few pictures of how Rose Haven looks today. I happily obliged. January 7, 2023This follow-up email comes many years after several I sent you back in 2017. It seems long ago but compared…
