My dear Mom passed away April 19th, 2006. She was 77, a lucky 77 for sure. She was so loved by my father, her friends and co-workers, our family, and especially me.
My mother had a passion for gardening, and art. Every day for the rest of my life, as I garden, as I create, I will do it in memory of her, knowing she would be proud of me for my efforts.
In photography, I will honor her appreciation of beauty, and attempt to squeeze out every bit of talent, creativity, and knowledge from my bones, so that I may give back to this world, an image of what I see, feel, and find most wondrous around us.
My mother will be with me on my journey into exploring my path in photography, for she is the one who inspired me through her love.
