Mark, an American soldier, gave his life for his fellow countrymen in the war in Iraq. The only one of his unit to survive the initial blast, he battled for life as he was flown back to the United States for medical care. His family flocked to his side and surrounded him with love in his final hours. Not long after his arrival in America, he died on home soil in the arms of his loved ones. His mother Kim, my husband’s first cousin, wrote this poem, “Is it you?” as she struggled with grief and loneliness for her young son. She asked me if I had a dragonfly photo to accompany her poem which relates the tale of the dragonflies that seem to hover near her in a show of consolation. This image is our collaboration, our joint effort, in memory of Mark Graham who defended the cause of freedom with steadfast determination and a valiant heart. May he rest in peace and may the angels surround him and his family now and forever. (100% of proceeds from sales will go to the Mark W. Graham Foundation; see another image, “Is it you?” in this portfolio if you’d like a green dragonfly. It will print better in the card size). Taken from the Mark W. Graham Foundation website, here is additional information about the foundation to which all funds from the sales of these images will be donated: “The Mark W. Graham Foundation is a non-profit organization which provides support for young people of character and military families in crisis. It honors the legacy of Mark Graham, a fallen soldier whose strength of character and gift of service to his country are an inspiration to all who knew him. Mark was a Lafayette, La., native and his death opened the community’s eyes to the reality of war and the sacrifice soldiers make in their fight to keep our country free. He was married to Stephanie for a little more than a year when he died. Mark was 22 years old.”

When I posted “For Mark, an American soldier, who gave his life in Iraq,” I didn’t realize that it would not print well as a card, so I’m adding this image of the same poem by Kim Graham and a different dragonfly photo to accommodate those who would like a copy of this in card size. 100% of proceeds from sales will go to the Mark W. Graham Foundation. According to the foundation’s official website, “The Mark W. Graham Foundation is a non-profit organization which provides support for young people of character and military families in crisis. It honors the legacy of Mark Graham, a fallen soldier whose strength of character and gift of service to his country are an inspiration to all who knew him. Mark was a Lafayette, La., native and his death opened the community’s eyes to the reality of war and the sacrifice soldiers make in their fight to keep our country free. He was married to Stephanie for a little more than a year when he died. Mark was 22 years old.

A view of the old Cope School, a one-room country school house. From what I was able to find, it was named for the people who donated the land for the school. The old tin roof is mostly gone from the far side, and if you view large, you can see the blue sky through the rafters. It is decaying fast and I predict it won’t be around for too many more years. This is located in rural Wright County Missouri, several miles northeast of Hartville.

I played with photoscape to attempt to bring out the beautiful blooms of the tree and was pleased it also accented the rust on the barn roof.

Victims of Alzheimer’s disease have to live in a growing maze of confusion every single day of their lives. Only the most recent memories are affected at the beginning, with the disease slowly working its way back to the older ones, until the victim finally loses her own identity and that of her surroundings… One day you will go out of the house and get a sinking feeling when you find yourself looking for that ironing board at the local playground. This shot was made as a tribute to my grandmother who suffered from Alzheimer’s disease during the last 15 years of her life, and had to go through all of these stages. It’s also an homage to my grandfather who took care of her lovingly and patiently for as long as he could, and finally decided to seek long term care for her when he turned 77 and it all became too much for him. I wanted my mom to be my model in this shot but I couldn’t get hold of her on that day, so I decided to take my sister instead. She graciously accepted to model for me and we drove to the local playground. Once there, she put on a bathrobe with big fuzzy slippers, mussed her hair, grabbed the iron that I had brought as a prop, and tried her best to look lost and confused… I had to age her face and hair considerably in Photoshop because she’s only 43 and didn’t really look the part.

Situated in the Bogong high plains near Falls Creek in Victoria Australia..well worth the trip.. Proposed by the Ski Club of Victoria as a ski refuge and funded by the State Tourist Committee, Cope Hut was built in 1929. Bill Barrington, Jack Barrington and Martin Lawler built the structure under supervision from Bill Spargo. The structure is made from adzed softwood and polished hardwood with a corrugated iron roof. Materials came by dray to Dibbins, then by sled to the High Plains. The hut was classified by the National Trust in 1988.
