Once upon a time, I was just learning how to shoot with a digital camera. My good buddy, Kurt took me under his wing so-to-speak and taught me all that I know.
This is one of the many photos we took during our lunchtime outings where we took our cameras and went out to shoot anything and everything.
I cannot be sure, but I think he took this photo
Way back when I worked as a nurse, I worked in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Friends and family thought I must be crazy to care for critically ill kids. They thought it would be too depressing.

And certainly it was depressing on occasion. It’s never easy to see children so ill. But there was a sort of magic that happened caring for these kids. Perhaps because they didn’t know any better. These kids defied the odds and got better — most of the time.
This little gal was one of my favorite patients. We all fought over her but I was lucky enough to be one of her regular nurses for the time she spent with us.
