Since the completion of my new photo studio I have been working on a photo project, collecting photos of interesting men with beards on Whidbey Island. I have thus far photographed 48 guys and will continue to collect subjects through February. I also produced a 2023 Calendar featuring 24 of the men, at a press run of 250. I have, to date, sold or given away about half of them. They are selling in five retail outlets throughout the Island. I also have ordered a dozen 20" x 24" canvas prints with a walnut drop shadow frame. I have commitments to display them in both the Coupeville & Oak Harbor libraries. I hope I am accepted to attend the Chico book review in Montana this coming March to get portfolio reviews and lots of advice about publishing this collection as a book. You can currently see the entire collection at: https//:whidbeyphoto.com/whidbey-beards.
Helen Keller described life as "a grand adventure or nothing at all". This blog is about my own grand adventures over more than seven decades. I could tell you about my family, friends and loves; or my experience with loss, death, divorce, betrayal, and other life tragedies. But life remains a grand adventure, and its those experiences I'll pass along to you. LIVE LARGE & LONG!
