A reminder to look up. I was surrounded by people admiring the walls of this building, while overhead, layer upon layer of intricate architectural details caught the light from the windows, unnoticed. I'm glad I looked skyward. #ArchitecturePhotography

One of my favorite things about still water is that you get to enjoy a landscape twice—once in its details, and again in its colors. #LandscapePhotography

I've always liked lighthouses. There's something comforting about a structure whose sole purpose is to help people find their way. #Photography

In writing Imber, I was careful to avoid simplistic good-versus-evil thinking. People under pressure make complicated choices, and that complexity helped shape the novel. #DystopianFiction #SciFiBooks
