a different perspective, a new peace

"...I found the pictures of the falling body. I ripped the pages out of the book. I reversed the order, so the last one was first, and the first was last. When I flipped through them, it looked like the man was floating up through the sky." - Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
it is my hope and prayer we never see such tragedy again. may god bless our country.

I hope we never have an incident like that again as well, but that book you quoted was an amazing read! It made me think about 9-11 on a more personal level for those that lost loved ones. I totally recommend it.

Hi Duston-

Your work is delightful! I'm going to feature you on my blog tomorrow. If you'd like me to remove any photos or not link to you, just let me know and I'll remove anything you're uncomfortable with.

I've really, really enjoyed looking at your portrait photography. You have such a gift.

I'm also impressed with the painting of your daughter, Alanna.
What a fun vision you have!
-Laura
