Your art should first please you. It cannot please everyone nor should it. Let your creations, your art please the few. Trying to please everyone is futile. ~The.Rowan.Tree

Eclectic photostream... Even with a quick cellphone snapshot of daily life, I try to capture the art I see before me. Then, through artful gentle edits, I aim to bring forth the image that formed in my mind's eye when I took the shot.

 

Us... We're a happily married couple with a bit of an age difference, enjoying our journey of growing older together – though maybe at slightly different speeds! I'm the American half, and my wonderful wife is British. Our awesome story started way back in 2011. I also wanted to give a big shout-out to my incredible wife – she's my muse, favorite model, and rock. Seriously, she helps me see the beauty in everything, making the world around me so much more vibrant and captivating."💕
