After an absence from doing photography on a regular basis I decided to do a-picture-a-day-for-a-year project. As a direction I am attempting to use modern images where possible to relate times in my photographic past. As I am no longer a spring chicken, I can get philosophical some times. As a Christian I often see God possibly using me and my photography to send short messages. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I have enjoyed making them around Monroe, NC. TheElmo

277: Mothers Day
Zella Williams Bass Rowe
1922-1951
1922-1951
I remember my birthday the year before I started to school, I was living with my mother in a one room apartment. As I look back it seems she was really struggling to support us but she came up with the funds to throw a nice party for my birthday. After the party she revealed my special present from her. She had taken tape and laid out a street intersection on the floor in the middle of the room with tape. She then took some of my old battered toy cars and placed them in the intersection along with a brand new fire truck and police car. For the next month she would sit on the floor with me nearly every night and we would play "Car Wreck."
So few years, So many memories.
But not near enough.
Miss you MOM.

266: Children at the Cross
265: Bright spot on a dull day
I got up this morning and was greeted by some wet puppies and a cool breeze when I let them in. Considering the rainy cold and otherwise dull conditions I grabbed my camera anyway and headed out to pay some bills. I then realized it is Good Friday and most places are closed. When I headed back home I noticed the police escorting a group of marchers. Upon investigation I found the group was on a pilgrimage with several different churches (all different denominations) used as the stations of the Cross.

It seems in today's times participation in religious actives is proportional to the weather. I was encouraged to see this large group brave the conditions to stand up for their Christian beliefs.
In closing I would like to remind folks that the events we honor during this three day period are the Totality of Jesus Gospel. As Paul called it the 'Good News".
