Six months ago I left Prague and returned to New Mexico. It's been 10 months since my last blog post. Since that last post, I've had an odyssey of experiences and profound introspection. It was about the 6-month mark when I started to question my future in Prague. Up until that point, it was my ...Continue Reading Back to the Land of Enchantment

Around Prague
A PHOTO BLOG of this beautiful city I get to call home. It's been almost 5 months since I arrived in Prague. When I arrived I didn't know anyone but it didn't take long and before I felt right at home. I cease to be amazed at the beauty and charm of this city. The ...Continue Reading Around Prague
Finding Pozzuoli
In my first blog post, In the Beginning there was a Camera, I shared about living in Naples as a teenager and discovering photography during that time. I would venture to downtown Naples and take photographs of life on the streets. One day back then I decided to explore the old town of Pozzuoli with ...Continue Reading Finding Pozzuoli
Back to Catania
I’ve been to Sicily twice over the years. The last time I was there I stayed in the seaside city of Catania, which lies at the base of Mount Etna. I was really struck by this place. It has a quality I would describe as chaotic, mysterious, and raw. Catania hasn't been overrun with tourists ...Continue Reading Back to Catania
Random Stuff
A couple weeks ago my photography club attended an event where people dressed up in medieval and fantasy costumes, specifically to be photographed. The event was on the outskirts of Prague in a nature preserve called Divoka Sarka. The area is beautiful, with streams, forests, and ravines. It was one of the first warm days ...Continue Reading Random Stuff
Italy, Respirazione, and Beautiful New Friends
Thursday night I met with the realtor and landlady. I paid the first month's rent, deposit, and realtor commission and got the keys, YES! I spent that night at the Airbnb and in the morning brought all my stuff over to my new flat. It’s about a 3 minute walk from my Airbnb to the ...Continue Reading Italy, Respirazione, and Beautiful New Friends
Intention and Finding My New Home
In the book, The Intention Experiment, Lynne McTaggart talks about intention being defined as this: “To influence physical matter with highly motivated and targeted thought. The projection of awareness with purpose and efficacy towards some object or outcome.” I’ve done a lot of workshops and read a lot of books about manifesting, but this is the ...Continue Reading Intention and Finding My New Home
Visions, the First Week
The first couple days in Prague I walked around in a dazed bliss. Between the physical and emotional exhaustion of traveling half way around the world with nearly 200 pounds of luggage and photo gear, packing up my life, wrapping up my business, and painful goodbyes, I was pretty spent. But here I was in ...Continue Reading Visions, the First Week
Running Down a Dream
The dream of moving to Prague was planted over 20 years ago. I visited this city and was mesmerized by the place. The gothic buildings, beautiful people, and artistic aura vibed with my soul. It was just after the fall of communism, and a coat of black dust seemed to cover everything. A scene from ...Continue Reading Running Down a Dream
In the Beginning There Was a Camera
When I was 12 my family moved to Naples, Italy. My father was in the Navy and received a duty assignment there. When we arrived, my brother, two sisters, and I immediately enrolled in the American High School, which was located next to the US Naval Base. My family lived in a hotel right across ...Continue Reading In the Beginning There Was a Camera
