“What in the world is there to play in a hotel?” he asked. I thought about it. And thought some more. Suddenly, I had the greatest idea I had ever had up until that moment in my life.

“I know!” I said, “let’s go and knock on other people’s doors and meet them!”

Both of my parents broke into uncontrollable laughter.

That is the kind of person I am. Always curious. Wanting to know what is around the corner, and in that area, and behind that fence. I was nosy. I still am. And I still have that desire to just go out and meet people, to introduce myself to a new person, a new experience.

Some are sailors, some worked 31 years to build a park, others are incredibly good at what it is they do, and some do it just for the pleasure. I meet so many different kinds of people as a photojournalist. Its like knocking on the door of a hotel room; you just never know what you are going to get.

I LOVE IT!
