There are some things in one’s life that have significant impact. One of those is when a new member is added to the family. This past Tuesday August 17th, I became a grandfather (for the first time). We were blessed with a very beautiful granddaughter. Her name is Ava Lyn Smith and I couldn’t be more proud. A couple of weeks ago I photographed mom (Janelle).

Auschwitz, Poland
I had the opportunity to travel to Poland, a little over a week ago, with my wife and 15 high school students from our church. Our work project was in the town of Lodz (I plan to share some of the project work images soon). Prior to arriving in Lodz, we were able to schedule a day trip to Auschwitz. This is place every human being in the world should see. Words can not explain the impact of this place. Nor can any one photograph depict the pain and suffering that must have occurred. I purposely produced these images in black & white. That is how my mind saw this place.
