Off And Running… And Pics!

This is me.  Well, not really. This expression represents how I’m feeling at this exact moment.  Kind of stunned and hopeful at the same time.
I just sent my proposal to the first agent on my list.  There is no guarantee that she will like it–not every book is to every taste–but I’ve started the process.  
Book one is officially out [...]

It Takes Practice and Wild Turkeys

My daughter is learning about photographing patterns, light and shadows.  She took these with her digital for fun, but more often than not, you’ll find her with the new camera.  The child likes nothing better than to be out with that 35 MM taking black and white photos for her class.  Until she learns to [...]

Every Day is a Fresh Start

My daughter took this photo of her father watching the sunset.
Who needs snark on Mondays? Not me.
