European Dispatch | Paris, Again

I've been to Paris many times.  And each time I try to see a new aspect of the city.  But on my last visit, I was traveling with my son Jack who would be seeing one of my favorite cities for the first time.

European Dispatch | Good Medicine

I've been dreaming about living in Europe for a month since we started Elsie Green 12 years ago.  But the timing never worked - I had kids to raise, a house to keep, a new business to build.   But this year seemed like the right time.

Photographer's Guide | Classes and Resources

I love to learn new things. I've taken class after class in different mediums - ceramics, wood carving, painting, videography etc. But my favorite classes to take are in photography. 
As can be said for every medium, each artist has something new to teach. I have learned so much over the internet these last few years.
