    “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Wayne Gretzky

    Mr. Gretsky was referring to hockey shots while I’m referencing it to photographs. I’ve come to believe more and more that images do present themselves. This young lady sat at one of the tables on the patio at a local coffee shop. I noticed her brightly colored hat and quickly went through the process of determining how I would compose an image. I then needed to ask her if I could take a photo of her bright hat. So, I needed the courage to ask her and then compose this image. One shot is all I took.

    Goodbye My Friend

    Chai Tea Latte at Starry Night

    Today is the funeral for a good friend of mine. Over the past few days I’ve had time to reflect on his impact on my life. I am amazed at how big that impact has been on me and hearing others say the same. I will miss our conversations and the guidance he offered me. I am grateful for the impact people have on our lives. Thanks, Wayne!
