Greetings,

This issue has some new edits from a shoot with Kristy from a few weeks ago. She is a very talented traveling model and a true free spirit. And very flexible.

My new Mac Studio computer is doing a fine job at not making m wait for things to happen. It allows me to edit without any delay or lag. It can bring up a few thousand stock images for me to browse through in far less than a second. And it can load images into a catalog ten times faster than my previous computer. And that was a Macbook Pro from about five years ago. It did a fine job, just slow in the areas laptops aren’t very good at anyhow.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving and enjoyed family and food. I think my favorite part of the holidays is eggnog. The kind that comes in a bottle from a local dairy. You don’t drink this stuff…you sip it and enjoy it as long as you can.

Life is short. Yet we can pack many experiences in one life to make the whole experience seem timeless.

Imagine waking up one day to find you are very old. And it is your last day to live. You are given a chance to relive a single day. And you are given this one. Today.

You are younger; people who were no longer around and you missed them dearly, are alive. You can see them again one last time. How would you use this day? Giving smiles? Hugs? Calling loved ones to hear their voices again? Taking a walk? Holding someone's hand? Waving at everyone you see? Seeing art around you that you never noticed those years ago? Feeling the breeze on your face?

Or sit with your phone and scroll endlessly until this day is over?

Interestingly, we sit and scroll through our phones because we don't want to miss anything when that simple act means we are missing everything. And everyone.

Put your phone down for a day and do things, talk with people, and enjoy the peacefulness of analog life.

Happy holidays!
