First of all, Happy New Year to all. 2008 is behind us, and most of us, for financial reasons are glad it is. Personally for me, 2008 gave me 24 hours that I will always treasure. It was the short time I spent in Jerusalem and Bethlehem. This was not part of the original agenda of the trip to Petra in Jordan, but
my good friend, Gary Church, insisted that since I was over there, I needed to take one day and visit Jerusalen. And so, my son, Chris and I, did just that. Not only did I get some rewarding shots, but it was a spiritual experience for me that was very fulfilling, and has deepened my faith.

I have photogrphed very little in the past nine months, and I am truly feeling the desire to do so.
Sometime during the first part of January, I will head down to New Mexico to hopefully make some magic with my camera. For those who don’t know, I am still shooting film. It is time to start thinking about my next book project and the southwest may be what I will take on. With the Colorado Indian Market on my schedule in late January, I will have the opportunity to talk with some great Native Americans, who should inspire me. Much of what opens later this year is wide open, as I navigate through the economy’s rough waters. I am feeling hopeful, with a new president and a new agenda, the horizon looks brighter then it did a month ago. May all of you, join with me and carry a positive force into 2009.
