Newsletter Archive by Mike – Stories Behind the Prints

Welcome to Reflections—a space where I share stories, thoughts, and moments from the journey. I know this is called a newsletter, but truthfully—I don’t love that word. It sounds like a broadcast, and that’s not what I’m aiming for. I’m not trying to build an audience. I’m trying to build a community.
You don’t have to be a photographer to be part of this. You just have to have a desire to share. To grow. Whether you’re a speaker, a writer, a creator—or simply a human being navigating life—I want this space to be an invitation to connect.
This is more than a newsletter. It’s a conversation.
The Wave: October 2025
October brought connection, clarity, and a deeper sense of purpose. From heartfelt hugs to inspiring conversations, I was reminded that photography is more than technique—it’s a way to heal, to speak, and to share. Sixty minutes wasn’t enough. The journey is just beginning.
The Wave: August 2025
Fresh seascapes, soggy sneakers, and a whole lot of inspiration. August brought creative escapes, new workshops, and a deeper dive into the art of storytelling through photography. Whether you’re seeking peace at your desk or growth behind the lens—there’s something here for you.
The Wave: July 2025
After a 7-year hiatus, I’m back—camera in hand and heart wide open. July marked a return to creativity, healing, and storytelling. From rediscovering old photos to launching a deeply personal book, this month was all about second chances and soulful beginnings.
