It seems odd, but certain things are attractive to me, and one of them is old bottles. \u00a0When I got an email the other day from Raymond Jabola, he shared some images he shot at the Law Railroad Museum in Bishop, California, a spot we will take our group next month. \u00a0I loved the shots and found my self really anticipating getting to shoot them! \u00a0These bottle were on as shelf in an old restaurant we stopped in for lunch in New England, once again I was jazzed to see them and shoot them. \u00a0As I think about someday leaving my day job, and chasing old things like these bottles, I know they will become one of my favorite subjects. \u00a0You saw last week when in St Augustine, I found an old pharmacy and shot guess what, old bottles!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m glad we do not all gravitate to the same things, it sure makes photography a lot more fun, seeing how other people see the world! \u00a0Wednesday I fly out to Norfolk for the International Symposium on Aviation Photography. \u00a0Yet another subject I really enjoy. \u00a0I’m thankful that God has given me so many varied interests.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tonight my heart is heavy, I want to ask for your prayers, I am visiting an old friend soon, he is just about the same age as myself, sadly he is battling cancer and it’s pretty serious. \u00a0I want to comfort him and I want to share the \u00a0most important information I posses, I want to do it in the right way, please pray that I do. \u00a0I’m never worried about what people will think of me, I’m only concerned that they get God’s message of love. \u00a0I know it is in God’s hands just as my friend is, but I just want him to hear what my Heavenly Father has for him! \u00a0I’m honored to serve Him and thankful to have such Good News to share. I always feel so much better knowing you guys are praying for His will to be done!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Be blessed,<\/p>\n
