I recently created two photograph digital paintings that mean a lot to me. I took the first picture as a teenager; I noticed the bond between the two little ones. I loved how the older brother watched over his little sister. It was over 30 years ago. I learned this past week, that the little … Continue reading Therapeutic Immortalizing

Holiday Train with Dad
My father and I were able to snag a ticket on the Holiday Train when a time slot opened for last weekend. I am not sure what it is about steam trains. I remember my mother would get very excited to see a train, especially a steam train. I remember her expression of watching excitedly … Continue reading Holiday Train with Dad

There is something really special about photographing senior pictures especially those with whom I have known their whole life. This is my nephew. He has done a lot in his eighteen years.
