    So much character in that little face. She lived to a good age under your care and had a happy life with you and Beth.

  5. Edward Yankie says:

    A beautiful cat with a sweet soul. What a week of loss. I am thinking of you and Beth, my friend.

  6. Thank you so much for sharing Manon in this loving and moving series of photos.

    She didn’t have to be “the prettiest cat in the world”; it’s clear to anyone that this was one good-looking cat. Maybe my favorite photo in the bunch, however, is the one where we don’t see Manon’s face; instead we see her reflection in Beth’s expression of love and amusement.

Return to Damascus is my new book of photographs, available for order, that preserves fleeting impressions and the spirit of a place through the lens. Accompanied by brief reflections and memories, the photographs offer a tribute to the place and its people, focusing on enduring character and the subtle interplay of light, architecture, and tradition. Return to Damascus is a quiet celebration of observation and memory, inviting viewers to participate.
