Originally this site was called Ikkens. It's pronounced "Eye-Gehs" with a nasal sound before the "s". People naturally want to pronounce it "Ickens". Needless to say, after a couple of years of attempting to get people to pronounce it correctly, I decided to make it easier. "Eye Guess" was the result. A shameless play on words, but it's my site and my photos so I guess I can get away with it.






Ikkens is Mohawk for "I see".


I see as in what is viewed by the eye and perceived by the mind.

I see as in gaining understanding of something.

I see, how that understanding is peculiar to each individual.

I see stories in everything around me. I try to tell those stories with the images I make. Hopefully I succeed more than I fail, and others enjoy my stories.

Thanks for visiting,
