For my entire adult life, I have been a freelance photographer for several newspapers and television stations throughout Michigan and beyond. Multiple times my editors have encouraged me to put a pen to the paper and start writing. Not one to engage in debates — friendly or otherwise — I chose to stick with photojournalism.
A life experience motivated me to reconsider writing for the purpose of sharing uncomplicated topics, and fulfill an ambition to put a cheerful feeling in the reader’s heart. We all could use a dose of positivity.
