While my primary work has been focused on helping people become more confident and authentic speakers with presence, my photography has given me insights and inspiration into what, in fact, Presence is.

I have discovered that whatever I deliberately focus my camera on – which could be the most mundane object – seems to acquire a quality of presence in the photographic image. I have begun to call this “revealed” presence – the ordinary becoming extraordinary simply by revealing it through my camera lens.

My intention for my Revealed Presence® photo blog, which began in January 2009, has been to share an image of revealed presence each day (except for a brief sabbatical while developing this website). Some days the image comes from something I’ve discovered that day and on other days I draw from my photographic archives. This daily practice continued until 2014 and I now post occasionally.

I find that provocative questions can also reveal what is truly important and present to us in the moment and engage us with the photo in a different way, and so with each posting I couple the photo with a question.

With this long time photo blogging practice, photography has become an important part of my life and what I offer professionally. I continue to exhibit my photography in local venues and currently sell Revealed Presence Story Card Decks which are compilation of images and questions from the daily photo blog that serve as conversation starters.
