So very lucky to have a job I love, so much the fact that it is my hobby as well. The begginning of my career 16 years ago at the Messenger prompted a new way of seeing and feeling about my work, thanks to a awesome editor and mentor, Skip Nichols. I started saving all my work as well as my son’s, Cody Duty. Then… how do I display to do it honor ? Answer, do a faux wall in spare bedrom after the boys move out.

I have to say ” leaving that wall was the hardest thing about selling that house and moving on”. My love for my work is what keeps me looking and searching for that next great moment. The wall always served as a reminder to keep looking, enjoy every moment and do something you are passinate about, live for NOW!
