Hockey great Wayne Gretzky said something about being not where the puck is, but where the puck is going to be. I've adopted that philosophy in photography, spending 38 1/2 years doing full-time newspaper work learning to be ready when moments happen. UPDATE: I retired on February 28, 2023, but I’m still ready as ever.)

Awards

I've won awards, state and national, but who cares? My focus is on the next picture. The most important awards I have are letters from people telling me something I've captured has made a positive impact, or is something they will treasure - something life-affirming

Ancora Imparo - I am still learning.
