01 / THE PERSON
I'm Duane.
Still figuring it out.
Writer. Photographer.
Explorer of the universe and mind.
I've lived through addiction, reinvention, and cancer. I write about the life in between—the people, the places, and the things that make it worth living.
These days, love, kindness, gratitude, and compassion mean more to me than they ever did. There's still plenty to question. And plenty to laugh at.
02 / IN THE MARGINS
Notes along the way.
A thought. A moment.
Something worth keeping.
