PEOPLE I MEET ALONG THE WAY

I've decided to start a photo journal of the people I meet as I walk my own path through life. My object is simply to record a brief moment in these stranger's lives. Usually our meeting is a chance encounter during the course of a day. I've found that each person enjoyed the opportunity to share something of their life - a moment; a feeling; a story.

Alex Haley said that "The death of each man is like the burning of a library." When I watch the people who pass by each day I wonder about their lives. What stories do they hold... and what stories do they want others to know.

Everyone has stories to tell. We only need to be patient and listen. Each of these people has enriched my life in some small way just because they took the time to share their time with me. People are a wonder.

These are just a few stories of people whom I've crossed paths with - People I've met along the way.

This is Lori. I met Lori on a very hot and humid day in Newport. Lori smiles a lot and quickly says that she loves her life. At one time she apprenticed with the Boston Ballet but stopped dancing when she married. She says that she loved dancing but that "now my children are my jewels." Lori is single now and says that she is simply happy being who she is. 

To me, it seems as though Lori never stopped dancing. Although she is no longer with the Ballet, she is dancing through life. Lori is happy dancing to her own music. 
Life is Lori's ballet.
