10 years, 10 months ago 5

Ever find yourself just looking for  friendly face?  I imagine we all have times we miss some good fellowship!  I think that is one of the reasons I’m so looking forward to running workshops in retirement and next week!!  I love photography and being in beautiful places in great conditions, but honestly I love standing around with great friends and enjoying the moment even more.  In the 11 years I ran the Great American Photography Weekends I was on the road over 200 days a year, drove over  70,000 miles a year, and was in every major National Park at least 25 times!  I don’t really need to see the parks again, but I love a new crop of great people to share them with.  It is a real thrill to see others see these magical places for the first time, it brings back all the joy for me too!

 

His Light was never about going to incredible places again for me, it was about seeing Jim enjoy his first visit to my special places, and sharing that joy with our Guests.  It is a business, and we do make some profit, but Jim and I see it much more as a ministry, and opportunity to share His love with those that join us in the field.  I am really excited about seeing everyone in Spokane Saturday afternoon, and I know these locations are going to blow them away!  You never know what the weather will be, or the conditions, but I do know one thing for sure, when Jim, Matt, and I and the His Light team walk into the room, they will see some friendly faces!

 

Blessings,
