I fear there are Machiavellian "faces" abiding in Lakewood. What will happen if I catch their light? (2 Cor. 11:14) - a critical lens is needed - let those who are wise understand.

In this abides true gnosis.

2 performers: one just beginning his career here in Lakewood HS and the other a friend back in NYC who is popping up all over the TV screen. Guess my leaving NYC was good luck for her? LOL

I think I "caught the light" of an angel?

Since harps + angels are commonplace, do we have an angel living in Lakewood who just happens to go to Lakewood HS?

Definitely the best - produced video about Lakewood I've seen. It supports the phrase I use when describing Lakewood as a Norman Rockwell city.

I'm going to "catch the light" of some wonderful musicians this evening. As artists, they appreciate the intangible skills and gifts that we (photographers and musicians alike) have and reward us in due manner. At first I had to readjust my NYC rates since the economy is suffering here but everything worked out.

If you want to see some of my work with them go here:

An example of a special kind of "catching the light."

This "face" of a Lakewood HS student takes on a slightly out of focus but artistic effect with lighting artifacts in the background that we call 'bokeh'. Some people will like it, others won't. That's what makes photography so interesting

Want to know what it looks like in the locker room (when I asked permission, the coach responded, "but not in the showers" LOL) after winning your last home game on Senior Night? Looks like pure joy, that's what.
