I have always maintained that photography is another way to tell a story. Some of you are familiar with my work at www.tellthestorynow.com, where I consult with nonprofit organizations and small businesses on social media.

At the Cheer for Children Ball there isn’t any talking about the work, only [...]

My friend Gary VanKempen has always said that changes in your life are like chapters in a book. You have satisfaction and sadness at finishing one chapter, and, at the same time, anticipation and excitement as you turn the page to the next.
