A lot has happened in these past few months...

My dad recently passed away from cancer. I have had a lot of time to think....about a lot of things, especially life. Why things happen, what have I done and where am I going. It will be so different...without him.

My motivation to do my photography, sculpture and drawings has been nill this year. Dad always loved the work I did, and he always encouraged my talent. So, I hope to do some more work soon.

If I can deal with it I plan on doing a series either through drawing or photography on the experience of my dad's death. My work, especially my drawings, are based on emotion. Obviously, I have a lot to work with. Watching my dad withdraw from the world...from us then slowly dying. It was awful.

This has been the most difficult thing I have ever had to deal with. Yet, because of it, relationships have grown stronger. Friends and family have come together to lend their love and support.

Pain is just fuel for my journey. I plan to take full advantage..and continue to make dad proud.

Least..I'll try.
