About

That guy to the left or above is me.  I was born in Houston, TX in 1993, and have enjoyed photography for some time but have never given it a platform or place to share and archive my life experiences.  I first learned from my father on a 1976 Canon AE-1 35mm and have since learned lessons the hard way on more than a few rolls.  This website will continue to be updated with new travels, hobbies or interests.  Contact me at ctblizzard@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns... the latter would be odd but go for it.

The inspiration for the title of this website "Ashes Not Dust" comes from Jack London's famous life credo:

I would rather be ashes than dust! 
I would rather that my spark should burn out
    in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. 
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom
    of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. 
The function of man is to live, not to exist. 
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. 
I shall use my time.
