I have a few friends who got diagnosed themselves after their kids did. I hope this makes some things easier for you!

Stimulants make the ADHD brain calm down. My wife is regularly able to take naps after taking her meds because her brain finally quiets down 🙂

Thank you! Still a little bit surreal to see it in print.

And thank you for the kind words. I’m sorry you had to go through that, but I hope those final days with your Pap, as hard as they probably were, gave you some peace.

Thank you to my friends who gave me early feedback and everyone at The Massachusetts Review for seeing the story's potential. If you want to read "The Forest as Witness," here's the link: massreview.org/wp-content/u... #WritingCommunity #BookSky #ShortStory

Fittingly, September 21st is World Alzheimer's Day, a day meant to raise awareness for the disease and its impact. So, in an abstract way, consider this one of my contributions to that effort.

This story, and where it comes from, is important to me. And although it's told through the lens of a forest and an invasive species, it's ultimately about how Alzheimer's Disease affects both the people living with it and those around them.

Last week, which was around six years after I started forming the idea for the story, I opened up the Fall 2026 issue of The Massachusetts Review to see my words on its pages.

After doing that a few more times, I decided the story was important enough to me that I wanted to try to get it published (although I honestly wasn't sure if that was a pipe dream).

Years ago, I started writing a short story. The idea started to take shape during the pandemic, and I eventually dug into it, wrote a draft, let it sit for months, came back to it, thought it might have potential, revised it, and let it sit for more months.

The sun breaks through the clouds, creating a rainbow in Rocky Mountain NP in Colorado. Notice the elk in the background of the first image. Most of them aren’t even looking at the rainbow. Their loss I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️ Click and scroll for the full pano. #rockymountains #nationalpark #coloradophotography

If you need me, I’ll be daydreaming about taking a last second flight to Spain to see the total solar eclipse tomorrow. I took these shots during totality in 2024 in East Burke, Vermont. It’s a truly surreal experience. #solareclipse #eclipsephotography #landscapephotography #eclipseart #vermont

I got 43 rejections on a short story over the course of a couple of years before I finally got a yes recently. It’s such a brutal process, especially given that the rejections may not have anything to do with the quality of the writing, but there’s no way of knowing for sure.

In the past 6 months, I turned 38 and steepened my obligatory, middle-aged descent into birdwatching. On a totally unrelated note, here’s a black-crowned night heron I stumbled upon one at Horn Pond in Woburn, MA… #birdwatching #birdphotography #birding

I know many of us have moved on to winter, but it takes me forever to process photos. So, here's an impromptu sunset shot from October captured on the shore of Kezar Lake near Mt. Kearsarge in New Hampshire. #landscapephotography #newhampshire #art #sunset #calmlake #reflection

This was one of those mornings where things were changing fast enough that I didn’t have the luxury of spending much time lining up each frame. I was scanning my telephoto lens back and forth between five or so different scenes, hoping my eye and experience would be enough to yield some good results

Kevin D. Jordan @kevindjordan.com · 05/11/2025
The downside to dynamic conditions is trying to keep up with the constant changes in light and composition. This side of Loon Island on Massabesic Lake boasted most of the fall color when I made my visit, and I ended up having only a small window that allowed for a good view of it in soft light.

Tannery Hill Covered Bridge in Gilford, New Hampshire. Which angle do you like better? Usually I have a preference on my favorite composition from a certain spot, but there’s never been a clear winner here for me. #photography #landscapephotography #fallfoliage #newengland #art

A coworker mentioned that she loves when the sun sets before 5pm. I told her that I assumed that meant she doesn’t get seasonal depression. Her response? “No. I don’t believe in that.” Fuck. This whole time I could have just not believed and winter would have been great. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I had been hoping for fog, but I legitimately showed up before sunrise and thought “crap, this actually might be too much fog” 😅

Clearing fog at sunrise on Massabesic Lake in Auburn, NH. I’d been eagerly watching the forecasts to find a time to get these kinds of conditions. Aside from getting buzzed by a cormorant that flew out of the fog right in front of me, it was exactly as I had hoped #NewHampshire #nature #photography
Small pine-covered island emerging from dense morning fog on a calm lake; warm golden sunrise glows through the mist above, with faint ripples dimly visible in the foreground water. The image is of Loon Island on Massabesic Lake in New Hampshire.

Forecasts for later this week are looking promising for these conditions in my area, which means the forecast for me sleeping until a reasonable hour later this week is looking bleak. 3/3

Kevin D. Jordan @kevindjordan.com · 07/10/2025
I’ve been scouting out locations lately in hopes of finding more conditions like this in the near-future. When the nights cool down it creates temperature differences between bodies of water and the ambient air above, leading to fleeting radiational fog that burns off shortly after sunrise. 2/3

This is one of my favorite shots I’ve ever taken. It was located ten minutes from where I lived at the time in Medford, MA back in 2019. I love the image itself, but finding moody conditions and a composition I liked at a suburban pond not known for landscape photography also elevates it for me. 1/3

From a recent evening of scouting some of the local trails around my new place in southern New Hampshire. The fall foliage still has a ways to go in my area, but I’m hoping to spend a few mornings at this spot in the coming week to explore some compositions and catch some fog rising off the water.

I'm always surprised by how my favorite photos differ from what others prefer. Images that I've written off are sometimes the clear winner to someone else. Take this classic skyline angle from Fan Pier in Boston. Which do you prefer: Sunset or Twilight? #boston #photography #photos #art #fanpier

The Milky Way over Franconia Ridge in New Hampshire. One of my favorite photos I’ve ever taken and absolutely the one I had to work the hardest to get. Not pictured: gratuitous leg cramps & sleep deprivation. #landscapephotography #photos #art #franconiaridge #newhampshire #milkyway #whitemountains
The core of the Milky Way above Franconia Ridge in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. A dimly lit path leads from the bottom of the image along a mountain ridge to a peak in the mid ground. Yellow-orange clouds just over the peak reflect light pollution from nearby towns below. Above the clouds the Milky Way and its gas and dust clouds are visible centered over the mountain.

Shortly after, I reflected on how fortunate I was to get this photo while I stuffed my still sleepy face with caffeine and donuts. Oddly enough, I never did get that sunrise shot that I was originally planning on.

As I shot, a street musician setting up nearby pointed out how rare it was to be able to have such an iconic spot all to myself without interruption. Once I was satisfied with my shots, I packed up to leave as the first tourists of the day began making their way over to the statue. 5/

I found myself at Nancy Schön's iconic bronze statues honoring the 1941 children’s book Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McClosky. I began capturing photos as the 5:30 a.m. sun peeked over the trees, spending about 15 minutes trying out every angle that caught my eye. 4/

Instead I wandered around the Public Garden, taking advantage of a usually crowded place that was mostly deserted at such an early hour. I quietly explored the iconic spots: the swan boats and the park bench made famous by a monologue from the late Robin Williams in the film Good Will Hunting. 3/

On the morning I took this photo, I woke up at 4 a.m. to capture sunrise over Boston Public Garden and the downtown skyline, only to realize once I arrived that I wouldn’t be getting the shot I had envisioned for that morning. 2/

As a landscape photographer, I often find myself planning out photos and making many attempts before coming away with an image where all the necessary weather conditions and timing perfectly align. That process is usually part of what makes the final image so satisfying. 🧵1/ #photos #art #boston
A brass duckling on the right half of the image with nine small brass ducklings following behind her in a line leading to the upper left part of the image. The ducks are on gray brick stones with rich brown mulch and then green grass beyond.  The upper third of the image shows a park--Boston Public Garden--with some green trees and the early morning sun bursting through one of the trees.

Details in the volcanic landscape of Lassen Volcanic National Park. Not included in these photos: 1.) The wheezing sounds I made trying to hike up a steep cinder cone. 2.) The wheezing sounds I made sprinting back down the cinder cone after seeing nearby lightning. #landscapephotography #art

This is friggin epic. Did you need a full moon for it to be bright enough to make the moon bow? Or was it a different phase?
