Rob S is Home |
|
 From
March 25th, when Julie first posted, and yesterday,
when Rob S finally went home, the DWF members have
worn their hearts on the outside of their shirts with more
than 600 posts, 22,000 pageviews, cards, letters, financial
contributions and showing up to shoot Rob’s weddings.
Who
knew what would result from Jeff Caplan’s reaching out for
some help with ‘this digital thing’? You make us all proud!
Addendum: Anna Kuperberg went to the hospital
yesterday and took photos of Rob, Julie and Utah. Beautiful!

Liquid Beckstead |
True Story: Midnight in London, outdoors, on a cold January
night. David Beckstead opens his laptop and quietly
says “check this out.”
A crowd gathers around to watch
slideshow and they’re stunned. UK photography industry
leaders stand in the dark, speechless, except to say “how did
you DO that?” Beckstead said “yeah, there’s this guy I’m
working with.”
