I Still Remember
It isn't that often that I see children sitting on a curb with lollipops and a puppy, but I do remember the days that I did that!

Your Protector
I love photographing animals, especially dogs. These are photographs of my dogs (except the last two).

"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace."

Awake My Soul
Surrealists paintings were generally based on dreams. Their paintings were filled with familiar objects which were painted to look strange or mysterious. The artists hoped their odd paintings would make people look at things in a different way and change the way they felt about things. They thought that their paintings might stir up feelings in the back of peoples minds. This is an example of my surreal composite photography. I am creating a body of work to possibly exhibit in an art show someday.

Wondering Where You Are
I was taking a drive and stopped to photograph some long- horned cows. All of a sudden I heard something which sounded like a child's tom-tom drum. I turned around and looked across the street and saw this sight. It was like these two were posing. They were very curious and actually came up to the fence. This photograph is in my top 10 of all the photographs I've ever taken. I didn't have to do any post processing. The colors you see are the colors I saw. The lighting was perfect!

We come here to remember those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever. May all who leave here know the impact of violence. May this memorial offer comfort, strength, peace, hope and serenity.
