I took this film image in an obscure alleyway in Central Mexico. It was a traumatic day in my life. Seeing this child in her serenity changed my heart.

Happy Holidays, Mark: My neighbors 7 year old daughter gave me this painted rock that glows in the dark. I couldn’t imagine a better gift than the heartfelt affection of a child.
I am glowing, too. 💗

I spent time in Latin America doing Cultural Portraiture. A photog took me to remote orphanage several times to visit with the children.
We found a pup on the premises. This beautiful child told me it was ½ dog, ½ pig. Which half, I asked.
A powerful moment to watch him connect with an animal.

I am going through my old (very) photographs and found one of my favorites.
This image of Graffiti was taken in Cinque Terre, Italy inside a tunnel. I painted it using a mixture of Gouache & Acrylic when I returned home.

I have every size. Love the Baritone. I went through a crazy acquisition stage in the beginning but string them differently to create a richer sound.
I found this letter a long time ago. Thought you might like it. 🎶

I have a foster cat that I kept who had all his teeth removed at 5 years because of Reabsorption. It was a long, painful recovery but he still is beautiful to me at 14+ yrs. 💕🫶🏻💕
