One of the best places to go for a unique environment for photography is an antique store.

You get to walk through someone else's life and grab images of moments that they have already lived.

Every old bottle and crazy trinket is a story.

And you can make their story up as you go.

Here are a few moments I grabbed.

These are film as well.

Lone ram.

Out the plane window.

Standing on the lake.

These pictures were all taken with an all-plastic camera called a Holga by Lauren NeSmith.

Digital is fun and forgiving, but there is just something about film photography that makes me feel good. The art of the development (all I've done is watch it happen) is like opening the prize in a cereal box. You never know quite what you're going to get. These are from a trip to Montana.

I have always believed that the world involves magic.

Think about it.

Think back to the moments and feelings in your life that can't be explained by the science of simple reactions.

"Braves win! Braves win! Braves win!"... as Sid Bream slides into home plate.

The pure power of Niagara Falls.

Leaning back in your chair around a table of family and friends.

The waves crashing on the rocks on a summer night.

The way you feel around that person.

It's all magic.

If there is magic, mustn't there be a magician?

Everyone has their own philosophies.

Well, I will not call mine my own...because I didn't make it.

God and humanity made it.

And it is that philosophy that has made me.

What is our greatest need?

"Our," meaning every face masking every soul everywhere that has ever lived.

What is the one thing that all of us can't live without?

We are all the same, really.

Different times.

Different situations.

The reason for questions is answers, yes.

But many times the thoughts that lead to the answers are what change us.

Have we thought too little about this one?

hold on.
