Journey in Plain Sight: A Visual Archive
I didn’t set out to build a gallery. I just kept my camera close and my eyes open.
Somewhere along the way, these moments piled up—family, laughter, random shots that made sense at the time (and some that still don’t).
Some of these photos matter a lot.
Some just make me smile.
Either way, they’re part of the journey.
And like most things that matter…
they were right there in plain sight.
Where it Started:
Back when life was simple…
and the biggest decision was what I was getting into that day
