Andrew and I often go hiking. Andrew seems to enjoy the peace, exertion, the dirt, the water and being free from dealing with the societal restrictions he often faces in daily life. From our adventures I have developed a love of photography. I have found photographs a really wonderful way to share our experiences ..
From the preface of the 2nd edition of "The Genesis of Music" by Harry Partch: On the wall of the projection room of a company specializing in children's films are inscriptions of appreciation. One of these touched me in an extraordinary way. Along with the 'thank you' were the following words, painted, illuminated, by the child author:
"Once upon a time ... There was a little boy ... And he went outside."
