-Summer At Watersedge Chicago-
Fall used to be my favorite time of year. I liked summer; but I took it for granted. Now I find that my love of summer is conversely related to how many more I believe I may have left. I like to think of the lake as God's great watering hole- where we all come for spiritual sustenance- where there are no tribes, no Red or Blue, just friends and neighbors enjoying a sunny day. I try to capture that simple humanity in my work. I hope you enjoy.

NEW!
In the Featured Collections gallery, I've grouped together photos that are thematically related, such as my Father's Day montage or Winter At Watersedge collection. "Sunrise At Watersedge" is new to the gallery and marries prose and imagery to tell an allegorical story.
- Catch A Sunrise -
Every morning is different and beautiful in its own way and reminds us that there is order in the universe.
- Catch A Moonrise -
The sun has set in the west, and now sister Moon rises in the east. She sails across the night sky chasing her sister Sun. I dream a melancholy dream 'neath her pale moonlight, till sister Sun rises again in the east, to the joy of the day, and the end of the night. RJ

"My Dear Ukraine" is an allegorical love letter from a citizen/soldier to his mother nation on what might be the last night of his life. You can find it in the Prose Gallery in the "To Rhyme Or Not To Rhyme" page. This section is generally still under construction.
