The gangs all here!!!!!

Well actually the gang is all home. This weekend I was joined by Kris Bosworth (she is much better looking than in this shot, she’s in the edge of a wide angle lens), Jose’ Ramos (looking at the camera) Mike Anskat and Berrie Smith in the background working on attendees camera and the pilgrim. We spent Saturday helping fine folks like those to the right side of the frame. I’ve said it many times, this is a great job. Great people to work for and with!

At this event I got to spend a little quality time with two people I think a great deal of, one a long time friend and one a new friend. I’ve known Gary Chapman, http://garyschapman.com/
Gary is an award winning photojournalist, turned full time photographic assistant for God. Gary travels the world to some of the toughest places to make images that make a difference. I met Gary way back when he was with the Courier Journal in Louisville, Kentucky. Gary has always been one of my favorite shooters, his work has real soul, something that you can’t say about lots of shooters. Gary is a wonderful friend and he lives is faith, it was great to catch up with him.

A new friend who I met some time back and saw at the Showcase class I did several months ago is
Carl Turner. Carl is what I would call a Christian entrepreneur. He has been a financial advisor for a number of Christian organizations and been a very successful business man himself. More important than all of that he truly loves the Lord and is a joy to visit with. We had a great conversation during lunch.

I bring all this up because again today I want to praise God for the countless blessings of this life.
I can’t thank, or praise Him enough for all the great people He has placed in my life.

The Thanksgiving holiday may be past, but giving thanks to Him will go on forever.
