In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Today we honor an exemplar of the highest ideals of our nation, a brave, just, and moral leader, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., z'l. 

May we all learn from and follow his example; to stay strong, focused, ethical, wise, and compassionate.

Day of Infamy: Book documenting the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the US Capitol

I have created an artist's book of my photographs of the January 6 2021 insurrection at the US Capitol. It is available to view in its entirety for free, or for purchase (it's a high-quality print on-demand book, so the cost is a shade high). A pdf of the book suitable for all devices is also available for download for a very modest price. There is minimal text- the pictures speak for themselves- the truth matters. 

I felt it was important to have all the pictures collected in a permanent medium. 

The book and pdf are available through Blurb Books at: https://www.blurb.com/b/12301829-day-of-infamy-january-6-2021
