I’m not sure I understand what it means that the flower most associated with funerals is also the thirtieth anniversary flower, according toTeleflora’s website. Sometimes it’s best not to read too much into things.

Dear Friend

Black And White Photography, Laurie, Photography

I mixed up the time of my meeting at the middle school and had an hour of free time.  Seeing some benches under a tree, I walked over to enjoy this unexpected gift of time.  As I sat there, I couldn’t help but wonder what happened to Nia, only 13 years old.  It seemed appropriate to sit there quietly and think about how much comfort her parents must have gotten from the gift of this peaceful memorial place.

Saxon Switzerland

Two years ago in October, I was in the Saxon Switzerland with some friends. Despite the bad weather, I got some impressive images.

Find the two men gazing at the scene.

OK, so it’s not really the New York skyline. It’s the New York New York Hotel and Casino skyline in Las Vegas NV.

But it will have to do!

An image captured as she was taking break between shots.  Although we only worked together once, I admired her willingness to endure the cold autumn water temperatures of Lake Superior while posing nude.  Some very beautiful images were created that afternoon.
