New photo blog

I've started a new blog called A Thousand Words, as in "A picture paints..." It's a photo blog so you get the idea. (OK, I'll come up with a better title eventually.)

I'm not a professional photographer or even a very good amateur. I'm a newb, but learning. I like to take pictures and occasionally I do something right, or at least get lucky.

Riordan exhaled sharply. It was the cusp of dawn on the cusp of autumn, a hallowed interval when summer and autumn poised motionless on the point of a knife, when the future hung suspended and irresolute.

In that moment, time always slowed, as though pondering a new course.

And today, of all days—the day for remembering his birth and celebrating his marriage—he wondered where the arrow would fall, and what it would change.
