Oh my. I think I've died and gone to heaven. The privilege of taking photos of these amazing elders is giving me continuous goose flesh. I was shooting at Hannan House for five hours on Wednesday and five hours today (Friday). So far I've taken pics of the gardeners, aerobics class, art class and an artist lecturing to the Quality of Life group in the art gallery, not to mention candids around and about. Only one person has responded negatively to my project and I suspect she has a mental condition. Everyone else has been open, welcoming, friendly, interested and encouraging. So far I've downloaded over 320 images. And today the curator of the art gallery--and an excellent gallery it is!--asked if I'd like to have a one-person show of my Hannan House photos there next March. Of course I said yes.

Could a photographer's life be any better than this???
