Today is my one year anniversary on PBase. And now I can't imagine life without you. You've taken me places, both within myself and around the world, that I could never have gone on my own. You've taught me photographic techniques and artistry. You've opened my eyes and trained them to see things I'd never noticed before. You've inspired, supported, challenged and encouraged me as I've pursued what has become my abiding passion. You've broken down the barriers of language, geography, time zones, culture and age. You've been the presence of the global peace I'd dreamed of and worked towards for decades. You have used your cameras to transform our world. The gratitude I feel today cannot be spoken in words or captured in an image; it must be exchanged through our hearts. Thank you.

My anniversary gift to myself was to gather a dozen of my favorite photos and put them in a new gallery called "Edward Hopper visits my home." CLICK HERE to see it.
