When I started this blog, I imagined the photographs would be secondary to the writing. At best. I’ve never been one to put much effort into editing pictures. I have friends who will spend hours editing a single photograph until … Continue reading

This weekend the unexpected came together, complementing, contrasting, and enriching the moment. It was a funeral. Well, technically it was the inurnment ceremony for Helen, but the sadness that accompanies any passing was still the same. But on the other … Continue reading
