As we close things out for the year here I just wanted to say a big "Thank You!" to all my clients and friends who have supported me throughout this past year. It's been a year of great change with the move back to New York, a switch over to Canon cameras and a whole lot of new clients who have become good friends. Folks like the Walton's whose sons are fighting overseas on our behalf, and their fourteen grandchildren who were just a blast to work with. And others like Carrie and Michael who will be spending their first Christmas and New Years as husband and wife, best of everything to you both.
It's also been a year of great loss as two members of my family, my Aunt Kathleen and my Uncle Tom, both passed away after long illnesses. Though they are gone the lessons they have taught me throughout my life will carry on. Thank you both for everything over the years.
And now 2008 is upon us, holding the promise of new and exciting challenges. I look forward to those challenges and all of the new friends they will bring into my life. As I try to do on most occasions I want to leave you with a picture. This one is of Arianna and Giovanni, two great kids that were part of a recent family session I did in New Jersey. The innocence of youth is a wonderful thing and particularly at this time of year when the long lines and the weather, and the crazy drivers can leave us short tempered, it is my sincere wish that we all take a few moments to try to see the world through the eyes of a child, with hope and amazement. Maybe if we did that more often the world would be a little better place.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!
