Photographs from a rose garden in old city Philadelphia, PA.
The rose was one of my favorite flowers and still has the symbol of love attached to it.
I wonder why some things have pre-assigned meaning to them, or we make up a new meaning.
The meaning seems to come from a deep feeling inside us, but the meaning can be changed if we want to.
We can go deep inside our being, and we can re-program the meaning to something new. The world does this constantly with images that we are constantly flooded with by advertisers and others who are trying sell us something. It good to tune out and escape the madness if you can, your survival depends on it.

Some times an image provokes a thought or an idea which is a good thing. The image of the road less traveled made me think of the roads NOT taken, but there is still time.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Happy Earth Day
A view from the edge…
The Cedars are Dying Off like lots of things on this God forsaken planet, I hope people will see these images, like this and wake up before it’s too late. I can only hope and pray.
I dug this one out of the archives and ran through Nik Silver Efex Pro and did a In-fared Red filter on the image which makes it more like what I felt while shooting this image.
I was working on this image which was a commission photograph of the Cape May County Region wet lands for a women who loved trees and the image was presented to The Township of Cape May Courthouse and hangs in the office were they collect traffic tickets.
A side note on this shoot I was induced to chiggers on this shoot which are nasty little buggers and made me pay a price for this image.

Please read, these are my feeling also. Thanks for looking.
From the top of a mountain, we are able to witness life from a different perspective bringing us a new awareness.
Mountains have always captured our imaginations, calling us to scale their heights, to circle and worship at their feet, and to pay homage to their greatness. Mountains can be seen from thousands of miles away, and if we are lucky enough to be on top of one, we can see great stretches of the surrounding earth. As a result, mountains symbolize vision, the ability to rise above the adjacent lowlands and see beyond our immediate vicinity. From the top of the mountain, we are able to witness life from a new perspective?cities and towns that seem so large when we are in them look tiny. We can take the whole thing in with a single glance, regaining our composure and our sense of proportion as we realize how much bigger this world is than we sometimes remember it to be.
