  • “I love life and what it brings to me, my family, my friends and my chosen craft:  Photography.  It has taken me places the average man would not go from presidential campaigns, to the homeless, from mountains to inner city, I find my art all around me which I hope you will see.  Thank you for your time and interest.”  Paul

    In addition to his presentation we will be having a MEN'S COAT DRIVE for Paul. He is collecting Men's coats (think winter coats - not suit jackets) to pass out to homeless men to help them through the winter months. If you have any spare men's coats that are just lying around collecting dust bring them with you to the meeting!
