My heart stops and my knees weaken each time I witness a father spin his daughter.

This is exactly what I witnessed through the camera ( and my watery eyes ) while I slowly, and deliberately pushed my index finger down on the button of the shutter. 

This is the moment that I know I will live out with my own daughter.

This moment marks the chapter that my daughter becomes a wife. A wife that becomes a mother. A mother that becomes a grandmother that has the quiet privilege of celebrating the same moment that I enthusiastically await.

When I say artist I mean the man who is building things - creating molding the earth - whether it be the plains of the west - or the iron ore of Penn. It's all a big game of construction - some with a brush - some with a shovel - some choose a pen.
