Nita THANK YOU so much for resurrecting this thread. I didn't even remember it. He had so many good photography threads. This one has so many remarkable shots...he was such a gifted photographer. He made it look effortless.
But the text in it now rings pretty strong. Especially for locker and I on the first page. Wow. Spooky. Four years ago. Crap, look at Anastasia's post before this got resurrected.
And neebee's post before that in 2011 wishing him a happy spring and hoped he wasn't bummed anymore. Even back then she was looking after our friend and sending loving wishes. Especially amazing with her love quilt giving him everyone's love through the end.
Every time I feel like I might start bawling I always have been able to reset my mind and think about all the great times Billy and I had. He had such an amazing life and amazing stories. I end up puling myself out of it and smile when I think of him. I'll miss him for the rest of my life but the time I got to spend with him when he was here was worth it's weight in gold. I'm so grateful for that.
And grateful for Billy.

Wow Blitzo! Every time i happen on an old thread with your amazing images i shudder. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Keep up the good fight! Maybe in the next life you will create, rather than capture!

He had a way of shooting sunsets--especially in Joshua Tree--that still makes my heart yearn for a home in the high desert.
