Month Of The Military Child – Marietta, Georgia

Read MoreThe St. Louis Arch And Choosing Happiness
Over the last three months, I have had many conversations. With friends. And strangers. They have told me stories.

I witnessed questionable driving that made certain photographs possible. There were plenty of tasty meals out. A temps warm enough for bare feet, open doors and sun soaking my skin…
