We met at the altar of a glimmering screen;
tubes to diodes to pixels.
Behold: a simple saga
that became a mutual dialect,
a binding thing of joy and escape,
parenthood’s long lesson,
and friendships flourishing
amid strange circumstances;
vibrant encounters of the gazebo kind
speaking for the part of us
that needed voice.
Miracles of community and courage,
ageless mistakes;
whimsies witnessed
transformed into something touchable.
So we set sail again;
not for the show.
The show is for civilians.
We’re here for the faces in fall color—
warm gold steadiness,
soft green belonging—
to praise in person
the sacred time spent before—
as Dragonflies, scattered across horizons,
together, elsewhere—
inside the same story
that still knows how
to lift us like a favorite song.
A pleasurable sort of business.
In omnia paratus.

GALLERY
Per usual, enjoy and use online wherever you wish. Send me an email if you want to order prints (don’t print these – they’re not optimized for that and I have some pride).
If you don’t see yourself – drop me a note. I’ll be updating this soon to include other frames/favorites.
If you want more of yourself – let me know and I’ll get on it. I didn’t upload everything of everyone – I was getting behind on the edits and I didn’t want you to have to wait another month. That said, I took at least a few shots of everyone – so if you want to see the others I’ll see to it and update here.
