It’s always about the view. It’s constantly changing. Too often, I’ll get caught up in the day-to-day stuff and forget to look. Then I’ll catch a glimpse and it’ll amaze me.

Odd that the most significant attribute of the property we own is something we really can’t own at all.

It’s said that the eyes are the window of the soul. There’s some truth to that trite bit of philosophy. You can tell something about a person by looking into his eyes. The opposite, I think is true, as well: how a person sees tells him about the world. Believing is seeing.

I’m an artist. I make images. It is this site’s intent to share some of those images. You’re invited to look and see and comment if you like. If you’d like to buy or commission an image, we can work that out. Contact me: skipj@charter.net.
