Parking Space | Asheville, NC | April 2019 The old concrete sits cracked and crumbling. Fissures and stains criss-cross the slab — relaxing behind a warehouse built a century ago — and reveal designs carved through decades of use. Wagons and trucks unloaded here. Heavy machinery toppled here. Ice, rain, weather gnawed here. Perhaps like…

Eggs | East Wenatchee, WA | March 2019 The chicken came first, in case you’re wondering. Their reptilian ancestors — yep, our feathered friends were once scaly lizards — most likely reproduced through viviparity, or giving live birth to their young. That biological trend advanced to ovoviviparity (internal eggs) and, much later, into

House Boats | Kennewick, WA | April 2019 I sit and watch birds flap by, their wingbeats duplicated on the glassy river. Clouds scud east, their movement duly recorded by the mirror-like surface.

Landscaping | Richland, WA | April 2019 Because rainfall here is scarce, we pay particular attention to solitary plants. Same for our late-life friends. We focus on cultivating relationships that

Warehouse | Richland, WA | April 2019 In our get-it-done culture, an untethered day has to be one of life’s great luxuries. You know: The day as a blank canvas (sort of like the warehouse in photo) unblemished by appointments, errands, or social responsibilities. In other words, life free of clock and calendar. The only…

Flashlight | Twisp, WA | April 2019 Ah, there it is. I’d searched drawers, shelves and closets to find the flashlight. All along, it stood at attention in plain sight. Dead batteries meant a trip to the hardware store, where I waited in line behind a man who’d just returned from the Oregon Coast. We…
