Stories Behind the Images
Photography often begins with a place, a moment, or a simple curiosity. This section brings together travel stories, photography projects, local discoveries, and the experiences behind the images — the moments that inspired me to stop, observe, and press the shutter.
Some stories are about the places I visit, others about people, events, or the process of preserving photographs from the past. Together, they add context to the images and show what was happening beyond the frame.

Exploring the Quad City Along the Mississippi River
I stumbled upon this outdoor amphitheater, a really pretty limestone structure that's both a memorial and a place for fun. It's called the BIX Memorial. Right behind it was the Centennial Bridge, the one I mentioned earlier. I snapped a few pics and then just strolled along. While I was there, I even saw some pelicans flying around the river. It's pretty amazing how those birds have adapted to living around people.
