Years ago a professor drew a small black dot on a big whiteboard. “What do you see?” he asked.

“A black dot,” everyone responded.

“But most of this board is the white space. Did you see it, too?”

Often I am reminded that we know just a touch of what there is to know, and that we often see a narrow view. We get so focused on one idea, one point of view, a shiny object, that all we see is the black dot.

My photography expresses one piece of who I am. Black Dot White Space lets me share the bigger picture. Here you will find essays, images, videos, and short thoughts.

Welcome to what matters to me.
