Stories Behind the Images
Photography begins with curiosity. Here I share stories from my travels, encounters with nature, local events, and the work of preserving photographs from the past — adding context to the moments 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.
