I’ll spare you the long story, but my bride of almost two months and I actually met in second grade.  She was assigned to show me the new school and dumped me 20 minutes later – hey, I was an obnoxious little geek and would have done the same thing!  LOL    We  went all through school together, but never dated and ran in different circles of friends.  We went in different directions, but connected a life time later! 

However, the theme for whatever reason over the last few days has been talking about networks, the value of a photograph and simply the incredible gift all of you, as photographers, have the ability to provide your clients.

Well, photographs do tell a story and that’s Sheila highlighted in the front row and me in the back…and it’s 3rd grade!   A big thanks to whoever the school photographer was at the time and thought he was just taking another photograph that didn’t matter.  Where would we be without photographs?

To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it the more fit for its prime function of looking forward.  Margaret Fairless Barber, The Roadmender
