    Inspire someone? I laugh. You are an inspiration to us all in so many ways. Your sense of humor throughout all this bs. is reason alone.

    By writing this list you have inspired me to write one of my own.

    Sending you lots of love– and when this is over…

    May I be your photographer for your road trip book?

      Whenever I have the cash to make that road trip, you’re welcome to join us. It could make for a beautiful series of images to catch Americana at it’s smallest and least suspected. I appreciate your comments, thoughts and if I do inspire you it’s not something I intentionally drove to do but thank you. 😉
