In school, math has always been my worst subject. I failed Algebra the first time I took it and passed later with after-school help from a tutor. One of my biggest issues is that I didn't show my work. It seems that I have a similar stumble with my photography. But, in 2014, that is … Continue reading Showing My Work
Tomorrow marks three years since I received the fateful call that my father was gone. Although it feels like a lifetime ago, I can still recall details.

For my visit, Sam purchased tickets to the Bootlegger's Ball, a party held in an old church that was 1920s/30s … Continue reading Ringing in 2014
