ArnoldPrince-12-00-18Arnold Prince. Every moment with him was an inspiration with a smile, an infectious laugh and Tea. 

One year today in Oly. one year since driving my Honda. Extreme highs and lows the middle ground rarely. Sometimes here sometimes in Ct. the mind journeys. So much to do to arrive in this new life. So many images to catalog, memories good and bad. The road not taken, would I have moved to Brattleboro if still in N.E. could I deal with winter. Slow starts to the day different then out the door 7am coffee at Merihew’s images both verbal and visual lingering over coffee. On to the next image, the best photo you have ever made is the next one. I still linger over morning coffee but alone. Sure I am not virtually alone online chatting without eyes to fully communicate. Not intimate enough. Bruce’s, Carl and Maarit’s Berta in her Lucky Charms PJs for lunch looking out on Norwich Harbor. Grandpa can we go to the restaurant? Bill Evans or The Violent Femmes what will today’s soundtrack be? This afternoon it will be the sound of sneakers on pavement the click of the shutter a breeze through the trees across the Puget Sound seeking the next image. Eyes wide open seeing with my heart there is no time just vision thoughts life.

    I read your words and am reminded that I’ve known you a good while though we’ve never met. It makes me happy to see your images hanging on my wall.

    Peter:
    A belated (1 year!) welcome to the PNW. I hope the move was a good choice for you. Oly is the better for it. Touching and inspiring images with illuminating captions. How do we leave a mark in this world and connect with others? The portrait of Arnold Prince is grand!
