An Amazing Journey

I remember when I started this blog years ago with my dog portraits. If you had told me that I would have one of my images on the cover of a book, I would have said great and smiled dismissively. If you told me it would be Billy Collins, I would have said that you are out your mind.

I don't measure success in a commercial way, but by how happy doing this work makes me feel. When it makes others happy and it enriches their lives, that is a great side effect. This portrait was made for my enjoyment of creative expression and not for commercial gain.

I celebrate the fact that I made this image by the process of which I made all of the creative choices from start to finish.

Now that to me is pure poetry.
