[A Walk Beside the Lake]

I adore photography and I think that I always will, no matter how I make my living. It is as necessary to me as breathing, as much a part of me as my heart.

Art is my comfort, passion, explanation, my connection, and hope. I need it the way I do the sun, moon, faith, honesty, love and friendship.

May my need for these disappear when my need to write does, for then I shall be truly lost to myself.

If I do anything in this life, just once I hope to make an impact without uttering a word.
