First of all, happy to find you here via @LouBlaser ... but having just turned 50 in Feb I wish I had had this idea sooner to do a book. I guess it's not too late. I have SO many stories of my past -- some of which came up last year when I was a speaker for a local PechaKucha event, 20 images, 20 seconds each to speak on them. You've sparked an idea so ... fun! Hope all is well.
What an amazing album project you did when you turned 50. I've always been a journaler, but I don't know that I could have done anything like that. I think there are years I've blocked out from memory 😂
Thanks, Lou. It was kind of easy for me because I moved and changed jobs so frequently. But there were a few years I didn’t have any pictures for or didn’t know what year they were taken. I went back to some sites to photograph the buildings where I lived or worked. It got a lot easier after 2005 when I bought a digital camera, and 2009 when I got an iPhone.

Hi Shawn, nice to see you here! Making the book took all year and I had it printed by Blurb a month after my 51st birthday. So it’s not too late!

Reading your message today has heartened my day .
Great duet of images and messages with the inner life of abundance with the creativity of stories! These are especially powerful to me.
