There are places that seem as though they are not real, and I have had the privilege to photograph some of those places...Places where it seems humans do not belong...Places that are, logically, supposed to remain mere fantasies... I have found places like that which gives me the hope, and the inspiration, to continue to look for these places where reality collides with imagination because they exist. Always believe that things you cannot see exist. If you do not, then there is no point in keeping your eyes...even if the unexplainable happened in front of you, you would not believe it & attempt to explain it away. So what is the point? There is no need to see, if you are not waiting to see something amazing.

I took these photos while at Arlington National Cemetary. Arlington is an amazing place that requires respect and exudes a certain dignity that you feel as soon as you step onto it's hallowed ground. I have been there twice, once to bury a friend and once in celebration of a family member taking up the fight the friend lost. While you may not agree with war (Iraq or elsewhere) remember the misdirected hatred during Vietnam; the soldiers are there to protect us reguardless of politics. I thank them all even though they should not be there, becuase to become a soldier, you love your country enough to sacrifice your life for it.

There is no experience more thrilling than taking a photograph while traveling on the interstate at about 80mph. But most of the time, the image is worth it, and the near death experience just puts everything into perspective.
This photo was taken somewhere in the desert of Utah, interstate 70 east towards Colorado. The sky in the Arizona/Nevada/Utah area is just this amazing blue and the drive is wonderful, providing you have air conditioning. Taken with a Canon Digital Rebel, unaltered.
