Got a point n shoot camera in 2006 as a gift. Joined Flickr in April of that year. I kept upgrading as I learned more, but my images didn't necessarily improve. It doesn't seem that long ago, but cameras are everywhere now and they weren't quite so ubiquitous as they are these days (Oct. 2014). My shooting remains as erratic as my organization. I wish I'd stayed organized but I never expected to shoot so many images. Oh well. A lot has changed in Tiny Town since then, and I saw it come and go and arrive. I'm an accidental documentarian of sorts. But I am not a professional. It is a life-saver, the camera. Glad I am lucky enough to have all this stuff.

There are many photographers, amateur and professional, whose work is something to behold, but Franklin's work to me is akin to an unfolding that is rich in the exploration of his vision. He is quirky smart, punny and delicious, acutely aware of his surroundings, and then innocently surprised by an event in which he has found himself and into which he and his camera dive. He entertains and he offers pause in places that require it. I so enjoy seeing the world through his eyes. Franklin doesn't know it, but he is a wonderful teacher and a very special friend. I love you, bear!"
