Allow me to introduce myself.........
Uploaded: August 16, 2007
I am a regular guy! I love photography but that's not why I take pictures. My wife has Lyme Disease and Babesia. After nine and a half years, seven and a half in a wheelchair, she still can't take pictures herself, yet. See me, see the world, all through my eyes.
Live today like there is no tomorrow.
Enjoy

Thanks Patrick, every day is a challenge, we appreciate your comment.Aggie Villanueva October 07, 2007
How wonderful to meet you. I too have health problems that prevent much photography I used to create. And how wonderful to hear of a husband's dedication and love. I look forward to seeing much more of your work. Have the greatest day ever as you greet each day's new challenges. #4893642Shahn Torontow October 07, 2007
Thanks for you beautiful comment Aggie, very kind. Don't ever let things stop you from asking for help. You will be surprised, many people are willing, you just have to ask.Melinda F. Schneider January 28, 2008
This is a beautiful photograph, Shahn. After I read your description, I liked it even more...the shadow seems symbolic of your wife.I have multiple scleroses and am often limited in my vantage point. I have just discovered photography in the past year and, even with the limitations, I find it very healing. #5405990
