Saying Goodbye...

I know that this is kind of after the fact, but I had to take the time to sit down and edit all of these after I found them. I just wanted to share a few of the moments that I have had with my friend Phil before he moved to California. It is hard to quantify how much a friendship means just in a few photographs, but I think that these say a lot. Phil you have been a good teacher, and I know more now than I did when I met you. Thank you for teaching me about photography, love, people, and life in general. Melissa, you are tremendously charismatic, smart, witty, and a very encouraging person. I thank you for convincing me that I should take the Sommelier's exam. I cannot imagine two people that are a better fit for each other. I hope that the two of you are having a wonderful time in the Bay area. It's still weird not to be able to go by that old apartment and see if I can get you out of bed Phil. Just the other day I needed to ask a camera question, and I started to get in the truck and take off. I stopped and laughed for a minute, and then I smiled. Now I have a reason to go to California!
