This is my final shot of my 365 Day iPhone Photography Journal. What I began on February 12, 2011, I end today on February 12, 2012. It’s been an amazing journey. One I wouldn’t trade for anything. Many times during the past year I wondered if I could make it to the end of the year with my commitment to post one iPhone photo a day for a year, along with periodic writings. It’s kept me up until 2:00 – 6:00AM for the past 365 days. I can honestly say I am tired. But so thankful for this experience.
The journey began as a solo attempt to inspire my daily creativity, but has become a wonderful adventure, opening doors to knew relationships and experiences. Many thanks to everyone who has cheered me on throughout the year. And pondered and cried with me as I tackled photos and writings that went deep into the heart of what it means to experience pain and suffering. And laughed at my foibles, gaffs, and joys along the way. Family, as well as friends old and new, have made this experience like none other in my life. Thank you all for your love, encouragement, and support.
And so now I close one door and open another. It doesn’t mean that I’ll stop posting photos. But it does mean I won’t commit to another year of this. Please watch for books and prints coming forth from my years worth of images. Each day represents up to hundreds of shots and interpretations of shots, which add up to an estimated 10,000 images (give or take a couple thousand) lol. Most images are for sale, so if you desire any prints, feel free to contact me. I can process them personally or send you to a site to purchase what you desire. Other than that, it’s back to film/video producing.
And I hope the new friends I’ve made along the way will continue to stay in touch.
So for now, I hope you all enjoyed the journey with me and like my final shot of the year!
May this be your most fulfilling year ever–and the least of all those yet to come!!!

It has been said that Architecture is the Mother of all the Arts. I believe Film is the Synthesis of all the Arts. But in today’s photo, I highlight architecture with several quotes about it’s nature and affects on our human experience.
“The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.” Frank Lloyd Wright
“Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space.” Ludwig Rohe
“The space within becomes the reality of the building.” Frank Lloyd Wright
“There are three forms of visual art: Painting is art to look at, sculpture is art you can walk around, and architecture is art you can walk through.” Dan Rice
“Architecture, of all the arts, is the one which acts the most slowly, but the most surely, on the soul.” Ernest Dimnet
“All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space.” Philip Johnson
“We shape our buildings and our buildings shape us.” Winston Churchill

“INSPIRATION FOR LIFE”

Students at Milton Hershey School

Four years ago I gave up teaching in all forms to pursue producing personal creative work more intently in photography, film, and video production. I knew then that if I would ever go back to teaching that it would need to come out of what I create personally, instead of only teaching from what others create. For the prior ten years, I had taught period classes, along with three-month workshops, on the arts, film, and screenwriting, along with teaching a college humanities class. And for the past four years I have diligently planted several creative fields that are harvesting fruit, such as selling stock video through Getty Images and iStock, co-producing an independent feature film, and producing a year of images and photography in my 365 Day iPhone Photography Journal.
Yesterday, I broke that four year ban on teaching. I had the pleasure of talking to five individual classes at the Milton Hershey School about my 365 Day iPhone Photography gallery show. The school affords opportunities for education and support for children under eighteen-years-old who are under-privileged, or who have lost one or both parents. It is the second highest endowed such school in the country and has an impressive array of land, facilities, housing, programs, staff, and house parents.
What struck me most yesterday, again, while talking with the students and hearing their response to my work (I say “again” because it’s the same thing that has always inspired me to teach), were two things: 1) How much I enjoy working with and inspiring students, and 2) How important it is for young people to feel that adults value them and believe in them. One student named C (I will protect the names of the students here because of their need for protection within the school system), was very energized by my photo on DAY 115 and what I wrote. It impacted her so deeply, that I will reprint it here for the sake of today’s writing and for those who never got a chance to read it. And also because she was the second person in just a few days who told me specifically how deeply this photo and writing had affected their lives. Last weekend, my dear friend Jessica mentioned this photo and writing as being her favorite and how it has stayed with her for weeks.
DAY 115 – RESPONSE TO LIFE
Rocking on a swing with my youngest nephew and middle niece, they both held on for dear life. But today’s photo captures two distinct reactions: one of fear and trepidation and the other of joy and expectation.
Facing life with fear and trepidation causes one to withdraw and miss opportunities, many of which can never be regained. And each fearful response pours the concrete into which subsequent fearful responses are laid in stone. On the contrary, facing life with joy and expectation causes one to take risks, many of which pay off in dividends years later. For each success builds upon prior successes. And the momentum built by success not only gathers to itself more opportunities, but also more and more people who want to take part in those successes.
Note to self: Abandon fear; Embrace joy.
C grabbed hold of the last statement with gusto and wouldn’t let go: “Abandon fear; Embrace joy.” When meeting C it is obvious that she is filled with joy. But she has many reasons not to be. I don’t know much about her life story thus far, but coming from California, she has spent the past eight years at the school. Being separated from any family she may have for that long is certainly not easy. And I can only imagine how hard it must be for kids in that situation to struggle with feelings of resentment, loss, and the question, “Why me?” And to be angry at God for seemingly abandoning them. And now, at age sixteen, C is nearing the end of her time at the school and is searching for her place in this world. Another grand opportunity for fear and trepidation to set in.
Upon returning to the school the next day and wondering through the art class searching for John, the Museum Coordinator, I ran into C and she immediately burst into a smile larger than her petite frame could contain. And she joyfully held up a painting for me to see. It was an image of butterflies she had painted surrounding the words “Abandon fear; Embrace joy.” And my face lit up with a smile larger than my frame could contain. And without hesitation, I asked her if we could make a copy of her painting and have her sign it and I would trade it for any of my photographs, signed with my signature (which I purposefully offered knowing that if my work ever gains recognition in the art world in the future, a signature will significantly add value to the work for her). C was ecstatic. And so was I. And without hesitation she knew which photograph she desire: DAY 115 – RESPONSE TO LIFE
When teaching students who are forced to be in your class, as opposed to students who choose to be there, it’s easy to focus on the general group of students who aren’t passionate about what you teaching. But it’s always a joy to see a sparkle in the eye–and a fire in the heart–of a student who passionately grabs hold of what you are saying or presenting and allowing it to simmer in their soul and spirit, maybe for a day, a week, a year, or a life-time, and eventually inspiring a unique outlook, work, or response to life that no one else can offer the world.
Thank you C, and the rest of the students that I’ve had the honor and privilege of meeting and sharing with thus far, and to their art teacher Colleen Nielson, and to John Davis, the Milton Hershey School Museum Educator/Coordinator of Visual Arts, for believing in me and my work and for offering me this unique experience to present my 365 Day iPhone Photography Journal at the school. The gallery show runs through March 31 and I’m grateful for this venue for expressing my work and journey, along with the blessing that comes from sharing with staff and students. For it is through teaching others that we many times learn more from the students than they learn from us. And I am learning once again that that joy of life comes through the art of living, giving, and loving through healthy relationships with ourselves, others–our friends and fellow travelers through this life, and God, the Father of all things good and beautiful.

Six bridges have been erected over a mile long on this spot dating back to 1812. The second bridge, the longest wood and stone covered bridge in the world, erected from 1832 – 1834, was burned by Union militia on June 28, 1863, in order to stop the the Confederate army from gaining a beach head on the eastern sure, at Columbia, Pennsylvania, where they then planned to plunder Lancaster farmlands of their natural bounty of produce, and then head north to Harrisburg and Union Deposit, where the Union’s wealth was “deposited” and stored.
The present day bridge was built between 1929 and opened on September 30, 1930. It spans between two towns: Wrightsville and Columbia and is called The Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge, the Lancaster-York Intercounty Bridge, and the Veterans Memorial Bridge.

This glass paper weight in the gift shop of Palmer Art Gallery was the perfect object to use to catch the dim, rain-cloaked light fusing through the wall of windows in the background. The gift shop attendants were intrigued by my little olloclip lens, which allowed me to condense the entire 20′ high windows into the frame, and were delighted to see what I was creating with their borrowed prop. Spontaneous beauty is surrounding us every day. Sometimes all we need to do is place the set pieces and let the light do the rest.

“Funeral Procession For Joe Paterno”

iPhone 4s – olloclip – Photo Toaster
Straight up, I don’t watch major sports, including football, on TV or at stadiums. I’d rather be running on mountains or building rock walls or sculptures in mountain creeks. I was born into a family that adores sports and is very verbal when watching them. Somehow, I was born without that gene. I don’t even know anything about Joe Paterno. But since the announcement of his death last Sunday, I felt a need to drive to State College, Pennsylvania, to shoot some images that could help fill in the story of the outpouring of love for this Pennsylvania, college football icon. Up until today, I didn’t feel recovered from my over-exertion during the months of preparing for my photography gallery show that opened over a week ago, followed by a week of intense business meetings in D.C.. So as today wore on, I felt a stronger compulsion to finally hop in my car and drive into the throngs of traffic jams and crowds that certainly would be attending the funeral. I left at 2:00PM, exactly when the funeral began, with approximately a two hour drive ahead. The prospects of me actually getting there in time to shoot anything of import was almost nil. But I prayed for favor, that I would somehow be led to shoot exactly what I needed to shoot.
Surprisingly, I met with absolutely no traffic during the entire trip. Apparently, the tens of thousands of mourners had already arrived in State College. Once I arrived in town, I met with my cousin Sandy, who kindly gave me a map with all the parking areas around town marked, along with the outlined area where the funeral procession would be driving. Without a clue as to where I should actually go, along with very limited parking in town, I decided to just drive and see where I ended up. But at one point I followed a slew of red-herring parking signs that turned out to be bogus and consequently threw the hope to shoot the procession to the wind. As a backup plan, I decided to drive directly to the stadium where I hoped to shoot the statue of Joe Paterno. When I arrived at the stadium, I discovered that the procession was on its way, scheduled to pass directly in front of where I was standing. Gobsmacked, I ran down to the end of the stadium where the procession would turn south, so I could also shoot the football stadium in the background.
I ended up in the exact place where international photographers were standing: they, with all their professional gear, and me, having abandoned my professional gear and holding only the iPhone with my olloclip (wide angle) lens attached. The funny thing is that the international photographers began to ask me about my iPhone lens. It’s always nice to realize that what you feel in your gut is many times more accurate than what’s in your head.
As part of my 365 Day iPhone Photography Journal, I wanted to include images of the outcry of support and grief for a man who many venerate and love. No matter what happened in the past few months to denigrate his reputation, Joe Paterno affected many lives for good. And he deserves an honorable burial. And hopefully time and history will not erase all the good he did because of yet to be proven mistakes. Whatever the outcome, people need to stop expecting some heroes to be perfect, while allowing others to be as bad as they want to be. It’s a strange duplicity. And an innate temptation for humankind to either worship others–or themselves. Joe Paterno was a man with gifts and flaws. Not a god to be worshiped. Nor a demon to be vilified. And those who hated him because he was Catholic, as some of my own relatives do, especially when they call themselves Christians, need to repent from such evil in their own hearts.
To fulfill your calling and destiny for your generation is something that many people never realize. Joe Paterno appears to have fulfilled his calling and destiny: to affect the lives of many young athletes for good as he trained them to become great athletes, and also to become great members of society. For that he deserves to be celebrated and honored.

The Wagner family is built from sturdy farm stock. Good people. Kind people. Strong, loyal, hard-working, and honorable. The kind of people who have a spark in their eye and a lilt in their step, even when all the world seems against them. And, unfortunately, as the owners of a small farm, it seems all the world is.
I first met them at least 30 years ago while asking if I could use their farm as a study for my art class. They kindly agreed. My time spent in pastures while drawing their barns led me to understand how curious cows are. While sitting in the grass and focused on the pastel illustration I was creating, I suddenly felt like eyes were staring at me. I whipped around and saw an entire heard of cows ten feet away with their heads bowed low and staring at me. I reacted by leaping up and they reacted in kind by leaping backwards. I shooed them away and after a few minutes resumed working on my art. After a few minutes I felt the same sense that eyes were staring at me. I whipped around again and saw the same heard staring at me, only this time they where three feet away and hovering over me. It scared me spitless and I lurched up–causing the huge mass of bovine bodies to lurch up and backwards. God only knows who such behemoths can be so nimble when it comes to leaping.
But this is one of my first memories of the Wagner Family Farm. My art project and study was to create five pieces of art based on the same theme. My theme was: The Death Of Small Farms. Now, 30 years later, that couldn’t have been more prophetic. With the conglomerate companies gobbling up small farms across the united states, it gives very little room for small farmers to earn a living. Especially in a year like 2011 where rains, drought, and floods created such mold and mildew, and the inability to plant, grow, and harvest on time. It was a very painful year for the Wagner family. And for many such as them.
22 years ago I shot part of my graduate film on their farm. Ten years ago I rollerbladed past their farm on hilly country roads. Their farm sits at the top of an amazing hill and soaring down their slope was always an exhilarating experience. Especially since I never knew if I’d be splattered along the road at some point.
As I parked illegally on the sloped road to try to grab a quick shot of twilight over their snow laden farm, Dan, one of the Wagner sons, jaunted down to see who was shooting photos of his farm. When he saw it was me, the spark lit up in his eye, again. I haven’t seen his family in several years. We shook hands and I immediately was reminded how farmers and carpenters hands grow thick, rough, and large from heavy labor. It happened to me when I worked in construction. And Dan’s hands were as strong as any. We chatted a bit, until each car that passed stopped to make sure everything was fine, and one jeep filled with guys pulled aside and commanded Dan’s attention.
Farmer’s work from sun up to sun down. No. From before sun up to after sun down. They are an admirable cut of humble, yet necessary cloth. Yet our political ruling class denigrates their profession and ability to compete in the open market.
I have enormous respect for farmers and the sacrifices they make to plant and harvest their land. Here’s to the Wagner family and to the relatively few others who work the land for the benefit of all. May their hard work and labor pay great dividends in the future.

We all are born dreamers. Researchers have found that if people are kept from falling into deep sleep for three days, they will begin to lose their sanity. Having a story to tell is at the core of our human existence. So even when we sleep–we must live out stories in some way or another. And so even in our waking hours we all dream of a destiny where everything is perfect: where we are the hero, where evil, pain, and suffering are conquered, and we live happily ever after in a kingdom rich in beauty, wealth, friendship, and love. But most of us have a nagging feeling that our dreams will never come true. And many give up dreaming altogether, sending them into a state of spiritual insanity: where calling, passion, destiny, love, and life are lost to depression and stagnation. But no one knows what gateway is just around the corner that will lead them “further up and father in” to their expanse of liberty, freedom, and destiny. And many times all it takes is choosing to step forward one step at a time in the thing that is directly in front of us.
Here’s to a belief that 2012 can–and will be–the most fulfilling year ever–and the least of all those yet to come!

I love flowers. When I was a senior in high school, I had already cultivated a 3,000 square foot garden of fruits and vegetables, small orchard and grape vines, various trees and shrubs, along with various dahlias and 50 rose bushes. Unfortunately, due to drought while I was away on singing tours in Europe, I lost all my roses. Today’s photo speaks of beauty and life to me. New life. Abundant life. I am believing that 2012 will bring amazing new opportunities of a life rich in passion, creativity, joy, favor, productivity, love of family and friends, and life. May it be so for us all!

After 335 days of shooting, writing, and blogging, and five months of planning, preparation, hard work, printing, designing, and hanging my work, today my first gallery reception: “WHERE THERE IS LIGHT: A 365 Day iPhone Photography Journal”, went off without a hitch–and better than I could have ever dreamed possible. Hundreds of students, staff, friends, family, and people I’ve never met before tonight, poured into the gallery from 3:00 – 8:30PM. It was the biggest turn-out recorded for a gallery reception and the longest time that people lingered to view and read any work presented there. The support and enthusiasm for the show astounds, excites, and blesses me in ways I cannot find words to describe here. I am undone. The night was perfect. Beyond perfection. A cold, winter, January, Friday the 13th. Anything but scary, dismal, and superstitious.
Thanks to the team of John Davis for inviting and working diligently with me to present my work at the Milton Hershey School Gallery, Kip Alquist for doing such a masterful job in printing my work, Kip, John, Dale, Shelton Shepherd, and Robert Stadnycki, who helped hang my show, Kevin, who lit my show, and Robert Baddorf who gave me emergency aesthetic counsel when needed. And to Priscilla Williams, Kathi Wilson, Harriet Weinhold, Kevin Diaz, John Smid, and my sister Crystal and nephew Cole, for praying me through this.
Thirty Days left before my year-long project is up. And I expect to shoot some of my best work yet! Thanks to everyone who has joined me on this journey. 2012 will unveil yet another amazing journey.

My yearly visit to the Farm Show with my father. Came across this longhorn steer who almost gored me as I tried to shot his photo. Those horns have a wide reach, so it’s always wise to stay clear. Ate my usual fill of french fries and junk food. But this time I also had smoked trout chowder. It was one of the most flavorful soups I’ve ever eaten. Amazing. I hope to find the recipe and make it for my next party.

As I shot this leaf frozen onto the surface of the water, nestled beside a splatter of frozen air pockets, I suddenly noticed the twisted pipe lying just below the surface on the bottom of the pond. The juxtaposition of the three forms created an intriguing image. But it wasn’t easy to frame all three in the shot while I was lying on the rickety, old, wooden dock, without also framing my reflection in the water. But I was finally able to snap this resulting image.
