I can’t

picture what it would be like in just a few days for my body and mind are in a moment or two to just shut down and rest. 

Will this moment ever come because, even though I close my eyes and lay down to sleep it never seems like enough sleep. 

The ache of my eyes as I get up before I’m ready to get up in the morning. 

I want to go back to bed but, that moment never comes as I try to keep moving forward with everything I need to do. 

Sleep doesn’t come again until the darkness falls and it’s time to go to bed, I fall asleep so quickly and soon I don’t remember why and how I got to be so tired. 

But, the good night sleep turns into nothing but the pain of having to get up the next three days with no day of being lazy in between. 

Just continuous  moving around with maybe some purpose now and then.

Love writing poetry and reading tons of books. I also write short fiction stories and hope to include them on my page soon; I hope you enjoy my work, and thanks for stopping by my page.

  1. cpluzc – Maastricht – At 67, I’ve transitioned from a 43-year career in supply chain management to pursue my passion as a self-taught photographer. Since my recent retirement, I’ve dedicated myself to visual storytelling that explores the intersections of environment, circular economy, and the evolving influence of artificial intelligence on human social life. A more in-depth elaboration and continuation of the blogging I've been doing here for almost 15 years. Working primarily in monochrome with Nikon gear, I’ve developed a distinctive visual language that strips away distraction to reveal the essential narratives within our changing world. My photography examines how we interact with our environment, how resources flow through circular systems, and how technology is reshaping human connection and community. Each image is accompanied by thoughtful blog writing, where I expand on the stories behind my photographs and explore the broader implications of what the lens captures. This combination of visual and written narrative allows me to delve deeper into the complex themes that drive my work. My background in supply chain management informs my photographic perspective—I understand systems, flows, and interconnections. This analytical foundation, combined with the artistic freedom of self-taught exploration, enables me to approach environmental and social themes with both technical precision and creative vision. Through monochrome photography, I seek to highlight the essential truths of our time: our relationship with the natural world, the promise and challenge of circular economic models, and the profound ways artificial intelligence is transforming how we live, work, and relate to one another.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
