Horse, cat, and birds near Corder. I cannot name how a horse in the predawn light makes me feel.

Sun dogs on a super-cold day, close to the 2022 winter solstice, close to Faribault, Minnesota. Normally you don’t get clouds and sun dogs in the same shot. These are fake clouds, rolling out of the Absolute Air, an air separation plant.

Sunrise at Cinder Hills Overlook, near Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument.

Smoke from wood fires, fireworks, and gunshots fills the morning air in Phoenix as the sun peaks briefly to light up the skyscrapers.

I’ve seen the sun rise on this lake, from this shore, over a thousand times. It’s blessedly different and entrancing every time.

This is me at the start of the Mogollon Monster 100 Mile Race. To be perfectly clear, I didn’t run 100 miles, I ran (actually kinda walked) the 35K (22 miles).

In the theme of “New Beginnings,” this race marked the new era of being over 50 and learning that the rest of my life will be playing with the limits of what my body can handle. And constantly being surprised at the body’s fragility and gristle toughness.

Taken from the bridge leading into Nebraska National Forest, nautical twilight breaking into civil twilight.

I’m starting a new series of photos for the next lunar cycle, roughly entitled “New Beginnings.” The first photo of this new beginning is a bank of transit kiosks at Tokyo’s Haneda International Terminal. After 100 days in Tokyo, I’d be able to look at this photo and know exactly which kiosk to choose and what to purchase for any situation. But this photo was taken on my first day in Japan, at 6:04 am in the morning after traveling for 24 hours, and the information overload was entirely baffling and frightening.
