My Dear Friends of the Inspiration Circle,
It has been weeks since I have not returned to this post. Believe me, it is not by choice, and I have missed all of you. Many things have transpired in these last few weeks that have pulled me away from posting, even the desire to post.
I truly have appreciated and enjoyed all of the dear friends that I have come to know all over the world, albeit "virtually" for the time being. Many of you have sent encouraging words and inspirations into my life's endeavor to become a full time pro photographer. I surely hope that one day, we can have an Aminus3 Conference of sorts that will allow us a chance to meet, reach out, and embrace each other not just through these monitors and keyboards...(what do you think Jason / Aaron?).
The next few weeks will continue to be very busy in this season of my life. But one comment from an unexpected virtual friend "Seraphine" prompted me to post this picture (hugs 2u2, girl). It is a picture of the most precious thing in my life, my daughter...Keshia Evangeline. I have to admit, she was the very reason why I got into D-SLR photography, and her birth was the reason I gave to my wife to be able to spend 2 grand on my faithful D100 (which I have just recently sold to my friend, by the way...hicks). B-)
Keshia has just turned 4 years old a couple of weeks ago. As I have mentioned in my "fatherhood" series, she really help me fathom what "unconditional love" really means.
So this is dedicated to you, My Precious Daughter, and to all of the "unconditional love" in your lives, my dear Aminus3 friends.
Until next time, I wish you all the very best...and keep the faith.
Cheers'nBlessings... {H}
HHHHHHHHHHHHHH ...... I missed your post's BRO ..... glad to know you are still around !!! Your Daughter is lovely and I know too well what you mean by unconditional love .....great candid shot the {H} ..... hope to see you back here again real soon :o) CHEERS !!

OMG. She's priceless, H! Your words are so inspiring and heart-felt. Thank you for this tribute and...welcome back!

Welcome back {H}
I'd love to have a global Aminus3 conference at some point in the future! In the meantime, I'd encourage local members to meet up regionally. I think it would also be great to meet Am3 members while traveling. Locals can meet up with other members from out of town and give them a tour of their home town, favorite shooting places etc

Wow, your daughter is truly beautiful, H!! She is a truly priceless treasure, and has this wonderful expression of pure joy! It is so heartwarming to see this, and I am sure it is because you and your wife are really wonderful parents who shower your little girl with unconditional love everyday! That is a priceless blessing, the most precious gift you’re giving her, though from experience I’m sure it is not easy for either of you at times!! A heartfelt bravo to you both, dear H!! Thank you so much too for your wonderful narrative. I must say an Am3 conference is a marvellous idea indeed! :) May I also say thank you so much for your lovely words at my p-blog today; they are greatly appreciated! Much blessings to you and your lovely family always, dear H!

Your daughter is truly precious and I can see why she is your source of dedication and inspiration and unconditional love. We have missed you, and my personal hope and prayer is that whatever has been going on will or already does have a good resolution. Bless you {H}.
21 Oct 2007 7:28pm
Welcome back! When we are in difficult times it just takes the face of a beautiful child such as yours to inspire and remind us what life is all about. Hope all is well :)

Everyone needs a break once in a while so take all the time you need. You'll be missed - you have a strong following here on Am3. Your daughter is beautiful ... I'm expecting my first child next week and I'm very anxious to see her. =)

22 Oct 2007 8:47am
Great portrait in movement, bravo, great angle to.
Lovely portrait, she's so pretty!
22 Oct 2007 9:01am
{H} As you can tell we have all missed you. Your daughter is beautiful, so full of life. Treasure her, spend as much time with her as you can. My daughter just turned 12 and I got my first dose of reality this past weekend that she is growing up! It slapped me in the face HARD. It is hard to let them go and become the person they choose to be. Cherish every hug, every kiss, every "I love you daddy". Whatever you are going through time will sort things out and don't worry about us here at AM3, we'll be waiting for you, take all the time you need. I think the conference idea is wonderful, I don't know what it would take to arrange that but maybe in time that will happen. Until then, take care of yourself, your family and we all wish you well my friend!!!!! Take care, Dawn
