With taproots in Mississippi, I’ve also spent some time in Alabama and Georgia, all in the Southeastern region of the country; each with their own flavor. I’ve also spent quite a few years in Colorado.

But my home State of Mississippi is where I now hang my hat so to speak. Always viewing life as a book, each chapter has its unique story to tell. If I were to choose one word to describe my life, thus far, the word would be “color.” Every chapter has a different lesson and setting, sometimes related to geography; other times just a varying viewpoint. Regardless, the whole of the book is rich.

As I continue the journey, I have learned in the last few years to stop and pay attention to the things I once passed on by; or, allowed to pass me by. It is with great hope and intention that I choose to live life, hoping to capture as much color from each day as possible. God chooses to give me a new sunrise and sunset every day. I’m not always able to capture either with my eye or my lens. Regardless, I must be aware that He chooses to color my world.

Some of the images I have had the opportunity to harness are included in the pages of “off the beaten path.” I do hope that you enjoy viewing as much as I did capturing.

“Too whom much is given much is required.” I hope that I can give as much as I have received when it comes to sharing color.

Thank you for taking to time to stop. Thank you for taking the time to trek “off the beaten path.”
