Thankful...

...for Joe.

Somehow, someway, our paths were meant to cross.

...and I'm thankful.

I stopped by to see him today. 

Snow.

Rain.

...the day before Thanksgiving.

Life continues to be a roller coaster ride for this tough young man and his family.

...and he continues to fight.

Somehow.

Someway.

...and I'm so very thankful.

One Year Ago...

…we lost you.

…and minutes before,

I took this photo

…thru tear filled eyes.

The same eyes are misty today as I share this.

By far, one of the toughest images that I’ve ever made.

It hits hard

…somewhere deep inside.

Tapping a longing for what was…

…and will never be again.

We miss you Henry boy.

Keep watching over us.

Keep watching…

Catching up with Joe...

Today I stopped by Kennedy Krieger Institute to see Joe. 

Therapy was underway when I arrived.  I said Hi and drifted into the background, watching the occupational therapists work with Joe on squeezing his legs together. Hard work...and he did such a great job.

I spent some time catching up with Angie -- getting a little insight into the ups, downs and in-betweens.  So many questions and unknowns. I couldn't stop thinking of ways to try and help.

The days ahead, for all of us, are uncertain. One thing is for sure, Joe's determination and spirit are something to behold. This young man is very special.

Keep fighting the good fight Joe.

42...

For my birthday, I turned the camera on my world.

Here's what it looked like...

Start to Finish.

A Year in the Light...

So I’ve been thinking long and hard about lots of things latelely...and I’ve been scratching my head about how I can try to accomplish a few things at once – help someone I’ve come to know and meet some great people who are like minded.

Here’s what I’ve come up with…and I’ll hope you’ll jump aboard and spread the word…

Beginning today, through the end of 2015 (maybe longer)…

I’m offering $100 portraits.  That’s right.  $100.  Coming with someone else? No problem. Additional people @ $50/head.

But John…what’s the catch?  There must be some fine print, right?  Well, there is, sort of…but I’m hopeful you’ll see the silver lining.  Check out the details below and make your appointment today!!!

A Year in the Light

• Session occurs @ The Wairehouse (in Baltimore, MD)
• Lasts up to 15 minutes, so it’s relatively painless, but gives us enough time to connect and have a few laughs. Trust me when I say you won’t feel rushed.
• What you get? A link to an online gallery where you can download your images (to use as you please) AND a kick-ass feeling of goodness…knowing that 50% of your session fee will go to support the medical needs of Joe Henson.. Who’s Joe?  Click HERE.
• What I hope? That I’ll get to meet some great people who (a) need a new headshot/portrait (and might be looking for something a little different), (b) want to help and (c) love their images enough that they’ll spread the word and potentially do it more than once throughout the year.

Good schtuff right?
