So I decided it might be a cool idea to see if some of the better known bloggers in the Anglican/Episcopal sphere might be willing to help out with my sabbatical project. So I humbly asked if they'd be willing to post something on their blog. T o be honest I didn't expect to hear... Continue Reading →

On The Death of a Friend
How can it hurt this much? I met Lee, face to face, exactly once. It was no longer than it takes to eat breakfast and share a few stories. That's it.

Something to start
I have to begin with something so let it be these. I've been a photographer since the mid-1970s.
