A Many of Thought Photo
Actual non-AI photo.
I can print different sizes and
can do special prints.
Most start about $50 with
free shipping. Send me
a message to the right if interested.
It may make a great photo
for your office or studio.
I can imagine a few restaurants 
that it would look great
on a wall. Just saying
Check out some
of my other work. 
I'm starting to populate
my own page.

A Man of Thought
This photo was taken a few years ago. I was on a beach and saw the silhouette, with a ship in the background, a sunset, and rough waves that suggest challenge. The solid rock beneath the figure represents the safety of our comfort zone, while the open water symbolizes the unknown—a place of risk, adventure, and uncertainty.

Many young people eventually face a defining choice in their lives: remain in the safety of what they know, or leap into the unknown. There are risks either way. Those who seek growth often choose to jump, while those who value security tend to stay where they feel safe.

An Ocean's Saga: A Young Sailor's Choice

Into the sea young hearts wander,

or stay close to home they may ponder.

One offers endless wonder,

The other safe from plunder.

One may jump head first into the ocean drink,

Another gets their fill no further than the kitchen sink.

A young sailors choice.

An article that is interesting to think about, 'What happens in the brain when we experience art' with a few key bullet points.

• Research in neuroaesthetics shows that engaging with meaningful art activates brain networks involved in introspection and reflection, not just basic perception.

• Aesthetic experiences can promote empathy, strengthen social connection, and support cross-cultural understanding.

• Art shapes thought, emotion, and identity by integrating cognitive and emotional processes, indicating that art appreciation involves deep psychological engagement.
