a little giant part of me.

i don't usually cross post things that are also on my business blog but it is true that a lot of what ends up on there is evidence of my daily life. i have a passion that is quiet but honest and it is embedded in my daily breathing. i believe there is something deeper in my calling-not to make art but to capture it as it happens.

.
this is what i do every day. and it is a little giant part of me.
