Welcome to Weiss Journal
Literary essays, black-and-white photography, and the art of noticing
I spent twenty-six years in law enforcement, eight of them as a police chief. These days I write and walk with a camera, chasing small truths that rise from light and shadow and the rhythms of life.
I read and write daily. I explore with my camera. I listen and notice.
Weiss Journal is where I set these things down. Essays. Photographs. Moments that stay with a person.
This journal is free to read. If the work speaks to you, donations are appreciated.

Always a pleasure to read your musings.
Thank you, John!
I do this, look away without seeing anything in particular, often when I think about family, friends, and teaching.
