Confirmation that I was to follow in my father's footsteps jarred me in ways I never imagined. Since hearing the news, I awaken between 3 and 5 in the morning. Zero dark thirty is when my eyes fly open and I'm full-on aware. The words that normally tumble off my tongue now flow feverishly by pencil over a yellow-lined pad—as though I am possessed.

Blue.River.Apple. – SECOND HARVEST – A continuation of Alzheimer's through poetry – covers the following two years of "how-to" wade in the salty dementia truth.

In Literature, Authors write a thousand words to tell a single story."I had this idea of taking photos of American authors and exhibiting them across the country. I started photographing Las Vegas authors with absolutely no one's help. All on my own. The form and style of my photos are of my creation. I alone with no one's help have designed everything that has to do with this project, from taking the photographs to the layout of the An...
