I arrived in Oregon,
having moved from a small town
on eastern Long Island,
where I was inspired by the hope of romance and going west.

It was then, that I "left home"
with the heart and hopes of a prospector,
to live a life beyond my dreams.

And there, that I re-discovered a long held passion for photography,
and the way to a world, of infinite life.

"A hundred times a day I remind myself that my inner and outer life
depend on the labors of other men, living and dead,
and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure
as I have received and am still receiving."
                                                                       Albert Einstein, 1954

"A person who won't read 
 has no advantage over one who can't read."  

"When I was younger I could remember anything, 
  whether it happened or not." 

"Wit is the sudden marriage of ideas 
  which, before their union, 
  were not perceived to have any relation."
