Mandala Musings

Stare at something long enough and you might start to see things that are not technically there. This phenomenon can be explained in several ways. One, is that our eyes are not perfect. Another, is that man lies (to others and to himself).

Here’s a third theory: what you see is inside of you.

The mandala has been used by various traditions as a conduit to enlightenment. Focus upon it, and let the magic begin. The basic form of most mandalas is a square with a circle inside of it.

The one pictured here is composed of five photographs. Can you identify the different layers? If you look at it long enough and have sufficient spiritual training, does your meditation of this mandala help you reach new, deeper levels of enlightenment?

“I don’t know, it looks like an ugly picture to me,” says the nonbeliever.

“You’re in it too,” I reply, which sends him into a tailspin.

One day, she will be the president or a neurosurgeon. Until then, a juice break.

I know exactly how Andy Warhol felt.


While eating a mediocre hamburger at a diner, this ubiquitous container of ketchup caught my attention. It seemed so dignified, there beside the bowl of creamers and grape jelly. Like a car accident (or a nude Brad Pitt on fire) I could not look away. Luckily, I had my camera. This, my friends, is art!

Unchain My Heart

Set me free. And if I come back to you, I am yours . . . to lock up again.


Magic Work Boots

The way the sunlight peppers the boots? The grass shavings? What makes this image compelling? Related question: is gardening magic work?


Full Circle

What makes you feel young again?

I wasn’t your usual kid. The carnival didn’t impress me. It was dusty and loud. The rides seemed unsafe. Except for cotton candy, the food was forgettable. But for a photographer, the carnival is a treasure chest. Neon lights. Smiling children. The scarred faces of carnies. Stuffed animals and rubber duckies. It’s all visual cotton candy! I snap pictures incessantly, hopping and skipping like the normal kid I finally have become at 46.


Blogging Koan

It took me eight, long hours to choose a name for my blog that would sound spontaneous, thus achieving the opposite of Zen.
