Book Highlight
This book was recommended to me by one of my favorite photographers Ralph Clevenger and I absolutely dig it. It is out of print but you can still find some copies on Amazon.

deepest sense, about what is being photographed." Ansel Adams

Orwig's Corner

Greetings! Isn't it easy for life to get soo busy and work to become soooo important? Yet, every once in a while we're given the chance to step back from it all. This clarifies how we see, who we are and who we want to become.

A few weeks ago this happened to me with the arrival of our second daughter Sophia Grace! It has been such an amazing experience. Click here for a photo!

New life has a way of stopping you in your tracks, keeping you uplate at night :) and opening you up to some wisdom from friends and family. The message I keep hearing is, "...soak it up because time flies, take lots of pictures and savor the moments...." I'm taking this wisdom to heart and I hope you do too!
