When you do portraits professionally
it’s not a desire, it’s for money.

Porte Musings:

April 12th is remembered as Jersey Day, a solemn remembrance of the hockey team and drivers that were killed/injured in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.

International Day of Human Space Flight is also celebrated today. Dreams of traveling to the unknown by mankind are remembered.

Today is the 1st Day of Ramadan. 30 days of prayer and fasting from sun up to sun down for all my Muslim family and friends.

Although photographers that do portraits do it not through inspiration but for money, I’m glad to do portraits and have portraits to remember the special people in my life. Today was my Paternal Grandmother’s Birthday. I miss her, but she did live a good life, not an easy one, but a good one. She loved gardening and her pets. She always had a large dog and loved collies. I’m glad we spent the time together that we did.
