Fifteen years ago I had two life changing events occur in my life: one was provided in a 12 Step Recovery program and the other was purchasing my first digital camera. I purchased a Nikon D100 in October of 2002 and I stopped drinking in January 2003. Life changing because both have given me tools to begin to see myself, people, institutions, and all of creation when properly using these tools. I am grateful for both of these tools.

We’re also happy and grateful those tools have given us the Monte we have and enjoy today!

Thank you, Brooks! We can gain those tools through many paths. Maybe a church, an illness that brings about change in how we see life and more. If am pretty sure similar events have occurred in your life.

That’s quite an anniversary Monte, and I second what Earl said. I do enjoy seeing what you see.
Monte Stevens
Thank you, Cedric. I must say that your images, blog posts and comments over the past few years have been what I need in life. Every person we encounter has the opportunity to change our lives. You have!

Thanks Monte. You are very kind and I can assure you that it is reciprocal.
Oh, by the way, I’ll be back on Plop soon. Don’t really know where that’s going to go just yet but we shall see 🙂

Congratulations on both milestones, but especially the first, Monte. Both the effort you put in and the clarity of vision you received as a result are apparent in your words and your photographs.
Monte Stevens
Thank you! The new vision with these tools also keep me present to the moment, living life.
