Tim Stephens - My creative outlets are primarily making photographs and wine. Brix is the measure of sugar in juice (or life!) and is one way of estimating the ripeness of grapes for wine. Here you will find art I've made and art that I admire made by others co-mingled with occasional posts from my scrapbook of inspirational or otherwise meaningful writing I've encountered over the years. Questions and comments are always welcome...

Celebrating #nationaldogday by taking Sullivan to the vet and subjecting him to all sorts of undignified poking and prodding for his senior wellness exam. #wtfyouhumanbastards #sorrynotsorry #brixpix #13inhumanyears #stillkickin #labradorretriever #blacklab #dogsofinstagram #instagramdogs #slobradorretriever #blackandwhiteisworththefight #petsofinstagram #petportrait

Found this #mannequin in a #vintageclothing shop. He wasn't for sale so I stole his soul with my iPhone. #brixpix #iphonephoto #naturallightphotography #frederick #maryland #crackhead #portraitphotography #splittone #baldisbeautiful
