I am a fortunate man indeed to
have had a variety of experiences
presented to me in my lifetime.
I have traveled widely here and
abroad. I have seen a worldly
cross-section of faces and places,
have explored and participated
in a diverse selection of cultures
and situations.
I have been inspired and created
photographic, written and artistic
images and obsevations along
the way.
And as the time came when I could
no longer physically continue on my
journey, I was given the gift of time
to reflect, catalog and present images
of my travels and experiences, to
share with others that which life
presented as a gift to me.
I had to accept my condition and
use my time, lonely and restricted
as it came to be, to cherish that
which was afforded me, to share
with others my work and vision
openly and freely. So many never
get that precious oportunity.
The years I have been given,
expressed in my own way,
have been lived creatively
and productively.
For what it’s worth, filled with
sorrow and joy, I stand side by
side with the troupe of humanity
as a player on life’s stage.
I remember meeting you along the
straight and winding way, and consider
myself a fortunate man indeed.
