Dear Bill, GET WELL SOON!

My best friend Bill was admitted to the hospital over Memorial Day weekend. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried, but I'm being strong for him. Though I see Bill laid up in the hospital bed, I miss him terribIy...

Since Bill loves nature and is also a photographer, these photos are especially for him.

BILL! I'm sending all my strength and love to you and wishing you a speedy recovery!

I LOVE YOU!
--Ocean

Still shootin'...searching for purpose.

Recent images- May 2007

Most of these images have been shot in the beautiful Southington, Conneticut. I was taken aback by the landscape, especially the train tracks that trace it's way through the sleepy town. Enjoy!

Road Trip! April 29, 2007

I always love to get out of town when any opportunity arises, and I LOVE road trips! This one was to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the annual Penn Relays, which is also the city's Black Gay Pride--which isn't worth mentioning too much about, because the events were just that tired. Neverthelss, I did enjoy sharing space with three new friends. Bar hopping, and brunching was the theme of the overnight trip.

On the ride home back to New York on Sunday, when I was slowly coming out of my stupor, I began to see the light--the bright, beautiful light of the day. Cottony white and silver clouds, drifted about the crisp, blue sky. All this inspiration and beauty was overwhelming for me. At seventy miles an hour, I was able to freeze in a moments time, the wonder, beauty, and simplicity of the surrounding landscape...all from a car window, using my digital camera with a manual focus lens!

The images that appear below are portraits of my new friends, and the surrounding landscape. Together, they form a tapestry of delight, wonder and promise.
