James Bradley - Abolitionist
June 15, 2019

For the past 3 years Murphy and I have walked the streets of Cincinnati, and those cities surrounding the river. In that time, we discovered many elements of our community, some iconic, and some less so. This is the statue of James Bradley - Abolitionist. It resides in Covington Ky, overlooking the Ohio River into Downtown Cincinnati. James Bradley was born free in Africa and abducted by slave traders at the age of 3. He was sold as a slave in...

April 27, 2019

Life, like art, can change dramatically by the way you look at it. To keep life in perspective, I find it useful sometimes to step back from a situation and examine the larger picture. It can also be just as insightful to move in for a macro look at circumstances causing angst in your world. Storms Will Come A quote from Year of the Flood: "Storms of life will come. It need not be the storms that define us, but rather our response to them. If you...
