Every time I go into the world with my camera in hand, I try to keep myself open to whatever, or whoever, comes my way. I don’t know what image I’m going to come home with, I don’t know if any image I make that day is going to be one that I REALLY like or “good enough” to put on my website for others to enjoy.

And then…there are pictures that I REALLY like. They make me smile. They are pictures of people, just like you and me.
I don’t know their names.
I have never seen them again.
But these ordinary people, going about their daily business in public places, have made me smile over and over again.
I am thankful for the gift they have given me, a snapshot of joy, a bright spot in a day, a moment of fun.
Thank you!
