One of the artists that has inspired me over the last few years is John Paul Caponigro.  His work is excellent and having met him at Bradley while I was still in school was a very cool experience.  I read his blog on a regular basis, and in one of the last posts he made he posed a very interesting question.  If you could only keep one of your prints which one would it be?  (Check out the article here)

This is an extremely difficult question to answer.  But after some thought I believe that this is the image that I would keep:

Why?  Well, “It’s where I’m From.”  (One of my new favorite songs by Jason Michael Carrol)  This picture does not really represent where I’m from, but I believe that it does reflect who I am.  This picture was taken from my Father’s cabin in Wisconsin.  One of my favorite places on God’s great Earth.  It is not a technically complicated image, but is extremely simple and show the beauty of a calm morning on the lake.
