The Keepers

Posted by | Jun 1, 2017 | |

On a cool brisk morning, they woke to the sound of crashing waves. The dawn was void of disruption and the balance of nature’s symphony filled them with peace and solitude. With a deep breath, they opened their eyes to take in the beauty that was laid out before them. Through their gaze, the ocean began to reveal something of grace and beauty. As if being materialized by the fog itself, a family of what looked like the kin of an ancient ocean dwelling people emerged. The impression of this moment overwhelmed them, for these were beings thought only to live within campfire tales. You see, as with most legends, their beginning starts with the first steps of an epic journey. For these magnificent people, their story began centuries ago. It is said that in the days when Dragons roamed the land there were great wars. These wars began to threaten the very existence of each earthly dimension. Battle after battle raged and the thought of peace was long forgotten. It is believed in this time there were a people of the sea…keepers and scribes of history. These ocean dwellers were entrusted by every tribe to record events that took place throughout the land. Overcome by the violence, these great historians began to fade into the deep. Their voice became silenced and the dimensions could no longer remember the...

Franky and Mind Control

Posted by | Apr 15, 2017 | , |

Once upon a time in a land far far away there lived a rat named Franky. You see, Franky has some unfortunate habits that seem to get anyone around him in loads of trouble. The biggest issue, nobody sees it but me. They look at him and think he’s so cute with his little pudgy legs and squishable cheeks. I know better though, he may only be 3, but I know his…Okay Okay, so it isn’t that far away, it’s down on the corner of Main and Broadway, and he isn’t technically a rat, he’s my little brother, but you get the picture. Oh, you should probably know, he’s just a baby? And I use “just a baby” in the absolute loosest sense of the word. He may be short and wobbly but he’s no baby. He’s a mastermind capable of amazing and evil atrocities. Nobody can escape his will. When they are around him everyone seems to bow to his greatness and succumb to his every command. Now I may only be 5, but I’ve been watching this kid for his whole life and he’s no angel. Within his first year he was a mind-controlling genius. One look into his eyes, and you’re a goner. Let me tell you how the story went, and you decide for yourself… About 4 years ago my Mom and Pop came in...

Photo courtesy of shotsbybauer.com. Meet Arrow and Elodie, my Godchildren and rulers of this dimension. Don’t let them fool you, within seconds your mind will be melted and you will forever be under their spell. Once upon a time in a land far far away there lived an unlikely pair, named Arrow and Elodie. The two were inseparable and relied on one another for most things. You see, the even farther off place they hail from, can no longer be entered and the two are the last of their kind. In this magical homeland, where the skies are purple and the oceans are abundant with life, one can only live for 9 full moons before they are exiled to an unknown land, where the people of the new world speak with boos and bahs. Understanding only each other, Arrow and Elodie chose they would rule this new world, for they were often misunderstood and underestimated.Arrow found he could control those around him by simply smiling for moments to lure in the unsuspecting natives, then opening his mouth and letting out a fierce war cry just as they thought he was tamed. He discovered the one who carries the gateway to his home world, could magically tap into a source from their far-off land and provide nourishment at a moment’s notice if the right squeal was made. While Arrow conquers...

In a little-known town, located in a not much talked about part of the world, lives a humble peasant girl named Christina. One day while walking through the forest of Upland near the unicorn trail, Christina stumbled and fell. With determination and conviction Christina stood back up and searched for the malevolent object that caused her injury. But what she found was no item of malicious intent, in fact it was no ordinary item at all. What Christina found would forever change her humble life. It was an object that when aimed at the extravagant beauty of nature or the adventure of those Christina admired, would capture the moment and allow Christina to relive the journey of the day whenever she desired. As she searched for a name for this amazing item, she pondered calling it a Farrell, an Oz, or possibly a Hetfield. After days of uncertainty only one name would fit, only one name could capture something of this epic proportion, MAGIC…   With my photography, I hope to capture the magic moments and the unique inspirational journey that happens in every day life. At times, people give me the honor of hiring me to be a part and share their unique journey. I hope today you enjoy my work and maybe I will get to come along on your next adventure.
