Part of getting older. I certainly have become more mellow and humble.
When closer to death, what is important becomes a lot clearer. My wife's sudden
death 4+ years ago certainly made that very apparent to me. Life is no longer so
much about me. An open heart is where its at. This list is always in the back
of my mind whenever I'm out with the camera.
