Reading
“What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you. Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship means; they show us how to live and die.”

Colorful Hat
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Wayne Gretzky
Mr. Gretsky was referring to hockey shots while I’m referencing it to photographs. I’ve come to believe more and more that images do present themselves. This young lady sat at one of the tables on the patio at a local coffee shop. I noticed her brightly colored hat and quickly went through the process of determining how I would compose an image. I then needed to ask her if I could take a photo of her bright hat. So, I needed the courage to ask her and then compose this image. One shot is all I took.

Granddaughters
“So you’re a little weird? Work it! A little different? OWN it! Better to be a nerd than one of the herd!”
Mandy HaleHad some short time with my two granddaughters this past week. Grabbed a couple of improvised photos. I have no idea where they get their silliness. Must be their mothers.
