Sand in the Hands of God

I was walking down the Tybee Island Beach in November of 2006. The beach - the oceans always provide a wealth of opportunities for photographs so I always try to have a camera with me. That morning in November the water and the sands left these interesting and intriguing designs in the sand....the beautiful handiwork of Divine design - hence the name - Sand in the Hands of God.

Wings of Love

This photo represents two gifts from God. The first one was me finally meeting the love of my life and second was the gift of this exquisite sunrise at Matanzas Inlet, Florida. As the sun rose in the eastern sky the clouds began their shaping and forming until "At Last" they became the wings of love. Across the breeze I imagine I could hear the sultry tones of Etta James singing, At last, my love has come along. My lonely days are over and life is like a song. May you feel the warmth and grace of love when you look at this photo.

My goal for my photography from the very beginning was so that when people saw the pictures they could literally see, feel and experience the moment that picture was taken. I hope that when someone sees a sunrise or sunset they can feel the peace and solitude of that moment - that they can smell the salty air and hear the waves and the water. I want my photos to touch people in some way - even if it is simply that they look and wonder what I was thinking when I took that picture. I love taking the photographs and seeing the outcome. And I love it when people "get it" when they are looking at one of my photos.
