Dad passed away
I'm going to miss him. He was an amazing man. I knew that. But after going through his papers and hearing from his friends I found out he was even better and more generous than I thought! I'll share a story or two...
A woman who lived in the same building as dad told me when they first met they were in an elevator and were chatting. My dad enjoyed dancing quite a bit. She mentioned that she hadn't danced in years - since her husband passed away. Next thing you know she said dad started dancing with her right there in the elevator. And he danced her all the way down the hall to her door....
He delivered Meals on Wheels to others at the age of 86...
He supported many charities that I wasn't aware of, and his church and others...
If you search down through my blog posts you'll see more of my dad.
Anyway I don't want to bore you with his exploits like dancing with the chemo technician, (he was being treated for Multiple Myeloma) the x-ray tech, the bank teller, well you get the idea. You are probably beginning to wonder what this has to do with photography? I'm getting to that.
His next door neighbor is very wonderful and beautiful woman, age 89. I asked if she would mind if I created a portrait of her. She agreed and while doing that I focused on her hands and the bible she was holding... It came out beautiful and is titled "Enduring Comfort." I decided to try to carry on where my dad left off and am offering this print for sale with all proceeds going to Meals on Wheels in his honor. A 5x7 signed print matted to 8x10 is $59. 8x10 signed print matted to 11x14 is $79. + shipping. Call for a quote on a canvas prints and larger sizes and multiple print orders. Please if you think anyone might be interested in the print and supporting Meals on Wheels please share this blog entry with them. Thanks for your time...
