About George

 Hello Everyone

 

About Me

Hi, I’m George Epley — a trucker, storyteller, photographer, and creative individual who sees the world a little differently than most. My life has taken me down highways, back roads, and quiet trails across Missouri and beyond, and along the way I’ve learned that beauty often hides in the overlooked: a rusted bolt on a bridge, the pattern of light in a diner window, or a quiet park bench at sunrise.

Photography, for me, isn’t just about pictures — it’s about stories. Every image I share here comes with a voice, a thought, or a touch of humor. Sometimes it’s abstract textures or fine-art reflections, sometimes it’s everyday street life, and sometimes it’s just plain oddball — but it’s always told my way.

This site is my creative journal:

  • A photography portfolio of what catches my eye.

  • A personal blog where I add words, poems, or humor to those images.

  • A place to blend art, stories, and a bit of real life into something worth stopping to look at.

I’m not out to make the perfect shot or sell glossy prints. I’m here to show you the world as I see it — crooked, colorful, sometimes serious, often funny, but always alive.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope my photos and words give you a reason to pause, laugh, or see the everyday a little differently.

For centuries, art was expected to mirror nature—to be a window into the world. Kings, nobles, and scholars admired painters who could recreate the human form, the glow of candlelight, or the vastness of the sea with stunning precision. But then, something began to change. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the world was evolving rapidly. Machines roared to life in factories, cities grew taller, and people began to see the world differently. Science and technology were advancing, and with them, new ideas about reality and perception emerged. Artists started asking themselves: "What if art doesn’t have to show the world as it looks? What if it could express the world as it feels?" A painter named Wassily Kandinsky was one of the first to take this bold step. He believed that colors and shapes could spe...

Representation of the tree of life

Image
You are the trunk of the tree and every branch represents a different direction of your life. You can see that every branch, there's no kind of growth, no leaves of any kind, it's just a bunch of dead sticks clinging to the trunk of the tree. However, you can see all kinds of green foliage in the background, it seems to be thriving, growing at a incredible rate. What do you think the interpretation of this picture truly means?
