366 Days of Photos

If there’s anyway to summarize a year, this might be the best way. Thanks to D’Arcy Norman for encouraging this, I joined several others in attempting to shoot a photo a day for the entire year.

  • I shot the most in June (395) and the fewest in November (65)

  • I look at my photos a lot.
  • This photo received the most comments.

George was a personal friend and mentor to my eldest daughter. I spent much of the day producing a 12 minute video for the funeral which will be held Sunday afternoon. Here’s a snippet of the that video that includes the song my daughter wrote especially for George.

As a man of faith, George leaves us for a better place. He will be missed but not forgotten.… Read the rest
