My photo galleries are rooted in a desire to connect with others by sharing a wide range of images and thoughts relating to things that I value. If any of it is of interest to you too, I am satisfied simply to have shared it. But I would also love to build on mutual interests by continuing the conversation, either through the Comments available on these pages, or in person, or by your sharing elsewhere. This shared witness of the good in our lives is, I think, a fundamental aspect of human nature that is worth cultivating.

I have only just begun what I see now as a long term project. My life has been full so far. Twenty-eight years of development as a child, teen-ager and student of various disciplines, followed by another twenty-eight years of raising a family and earning a living through various trades. Perhaps there will be another twenty-eight to distill all of this and satisfy the yearnings of my youth by reaching out with the good news of life worth living.
