April – June

SUMMIT COUNTY — My dad died at the end of March last year, so when April started, still cold and snowy in Colorado, I was in Florida with my mom and brothers. It wasn’t a typical laid-back Florida vacation by any stretch of the imagination, but even amidst sorrow there can be beauty, and walking along my dad’s favorite beach, taking pictures and remembering how he inspired my love for photography was consoling.
