He had just been diagnosed with Alzheimer`s and still felt like yesterday that Mom had passed.
That day he came to the studio willingly to pose for my first professional print competition and he put on a show. It paid off I merited my first international award, published in the PPA loan book. Titled appropriately "Every line a memory" At his funeral 8 years later we had large portraits displayed and afterward each of my syblings got to chose what one they wanted.
I am so very thankful we have these legacy images of Daddy.
Happy Fathers Day in Heaven Pops!
I love and miss you everyday

Sitting ba****ck and barefoot on top of my horse I watched my home burn to the ground . That has been many many years ago but I remember the utter devastation and helpless feeling.
My heart and prayers goes out to all in California battling these fires .

Please note that if you’re trying to reach me and not getting a reply, I am most likely out of cell service camping, hiking, biking and photographing. Just leave a message and I will return your call. In Alaska the month of August.

It's been a week since I arrived here and I'm still getting used to the drastic change in environment and time zone from Florida.
