Sharpen Pencils, Begin Writing

Written by John Lightle

“Four by the Fire” by John Lightle

John Lightle is a Texas writer, poet, and photographer who spends many hours sitting on his woodpile contemplating. When away from his frame shop, he schleps his artwork among area art shows. The job takes him across the countryside, occasionally overseas, photographing the quiet resolve found within the golden hours.


Thank you, John, for providing this band of writers with your inspiring photography. We appreciate you!

Happy Holidays, everyone. Can’t wait to see you in 2023!
