absolutely beautiful, jess. second-to-last image is masterful. it took me a minute to figure out what it was, and then when i did, i thought, “hard to believe jess saw that image sober.”

Great images Jess and I would love to see more. The one of Vess Quinlan moves me so much – the best pic I have ever seen of him. You “got” him.

Stunning pix of the Gathering. I will never be able to attend, so these glimpses are very compelling. I am Heather Reedy’s gran’pa, and found your blog while trying to dig out a pic of my elusive son-in-law … he seems bashful about such things. I had never seen these “BRIGID” pix before … bittersweet … so happy to have found them, so sad that I am missing this time of her life.I probably can’t afford originals from you …
the blog will have to do. God bless your gift and your sharing it with us who are less fortunate in our geography.

I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and amusing,
and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something too few folks are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy I came across this in my hunt for something
concerning this.

Good day! I could have sworn I’ve visited this blog before but after browsing through many of the articles I realized it’s new
to me. Nonetheless, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll
be bookmarking it and checking back frequently!
