i stepped out. way out of my comfort zone and submitted some of my prints to be displayed in a local community art gallery.  it was interesting riding this wave of vulnerability and confidence.  the prints are back home and available for purchase.  contact me if you are interested.



i found my heart... ...

I Left My Heart In San Francisco, an oldie but goodie.  penned back in 1954 by George C. Cory Jr. & Douglas Cross.  greats like Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin would sing it.  this past weekend i got to live it... with my own oldie but goodie, friend & fellow photographer Summer Montoya.

The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the Bay

I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care

My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me

"God gave us memory so that we might have roses in december."  - James Matthew Barrie

my favorite coffee shop called me up and asked if i would take some pix of their beautifully blooming rose garden... ... 

... ... i am often humbled that most days for me, working (whether it be my little boys or a camera wrapped around my neck) equates to noticing & soaking up God's blessings right in front of me.
