MANY THINGS HAVE HAPPENED SINCE I BEGAN MY PHOTOGRAPHY JOURNEY. I HAVE PERSONALLY LEARNED THE VALUE OF PHOTOGRAPHING LOVED ONES. I HAD TO CREATE A "LIFE OF MY DADDY" MEMORY BOOK AFTER MY FATHER PASSED AWAY. I FOUND THIS EXPERIENCE VERY REWARDING YET EMOTIONAL DURING MY IMAGE SELECTION TO THE FINAL EDIT OF THE BOOK. THERE WERE SMILES IN FINDING OLD FAMILY PHOTOS AS WELL AS MANY TEARS IN THE REALIZATION THAT MY DADDY WAS FOREVER GONE. WHILE CREATING THIS BOOK, IN THE LONG RUN, I HAVE A TREASURED BOOK OF MY FATHER'S LIFE TO PASS ONTO HIS GRANDCHILDREN.

PLEASE REMEMBER ALL IS SAID AND DONE, THE ONLY THING LEFT IS THE MEMORIES AND PHOTOS TO SHARE AND RELIVE THE EXPERIENCES OF YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. AND TO THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT LIKE YOUR PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN, ALSO IN THE END IT'S THE LOVED ONES LEFT BEHIND WISHING THERE WERE MORE OF YOU. SO AS MY GRANDFATHER'S HANDKERCHIEF SAID "KEEP SMILING"
