I had an amazing thing happen to me today! I was just in the process of finalizing my decision to start the Baby Grace Foundation Non-profit. I was starting to make contacts so that I can register it with the state of Florida. The thoughts running thru my head AT THIS VERY MOMENT was “the […]

I have defined two projects that will be the core of Descansos.org – Both are really exciting and are intended to achieve the intent, but in different timelines. First – there’s the Roadside Memorial Garden::So what I would like to achieve is to create a memorial garden along the public highways of Florida…. The families […]

Yesterday I attended the 10th anniversity of the accident that took the life of Dori Slosberg & four of her friends. 10 years ago, on February 23rd 1996, five teens lost their lives in a horrendous car crash on Palmetto Park Road. The 19yr old driver lost control at 90mph; crossed the median; crashed into […]

I don’t want to put thoughts into your mind. Yes, the realist in me would say that this is just camera failure – leave it at that. But why now? Why for images of the descansos? Sorry can’t help myself – what are these people doing in the middle of the road!? This image looks […]

This is a third image, I’m posting, of my first attempt to photograph the descanso. As I explained, I can take pictures just fine. I have done it before, actually the pictures I took just hours before were fine. But now that I am trying to document the descansos – the pictures are, all of […]

Another picture that ended up differently than intended. This was after taking the image of the “descanso” marker. On my way back home I took some images of the road. Again it was broad daylight (look at the lightpost – no lights on) but the image is dark & ominous. The sky was a bright […]

I started documenting my Descansos project & ran into some – for a lack of a better word – strangeness. I was taking a picture of a “descanso” – a place of rest along our journey of life. I got this strange feeling that I was invading somebody’s privacy. I took this picture in broad […]

Every day, I drive I-95 in Palm Beach & Broward Counties. Each day I am drawn to the “Drive Safely” signs along the side of the road. The signs are more & more dotting the edge of the highway & more frequently are being decorated with flowers, wreaths, even photographs. These signs – these ‘descansos’ […]
