HCP on Fox News!
. . . “What’s Great about America,” John Stossel’s first documentary to air on the Fox News Channel, premiered this past Saturday and Sunday, in celebration of the July 4th holiday. KT McFarland, Fox News Contributor, was interviewed for the program, and I was asked if an image I had taken of she and her daughter, could be included in the program. Of course I said YES! I met the McFarlands during USNA Commissioning Week in 2007, when I photographed their family. Regardless where you stand on the issues politically, it’s hard to deny that we live in the greatest Country in the world, and Stossel’s show reminds us of that in so many ways. I am thankful to have been born in the USA, to have been given the gift of opportunity to chase my dreams, and to know the freedoms that so many around the world don’t know. It’s true that America might not be perfect, but I traveled the world for many years and can tell you that I have yet to find a place where the grass is greener than my own backyard (its current status of being nearly dead from the heat not withstanding). I love this Country. I am proud of my grandparents who became US citizens after emigrating from Europe in search of opportunity, and am grateful for all of the men and women serving in our military to protect our freedoms – including the beautiful young woman pictured below.
I hope everyone had a happy and safe July 4th – we had a ball 
I also wish that I could post some of the family images, just to share with you their fantastic PORCH, which upon arrival, I quickly decided was Coastal-Living-Cover-worthy. ( Have I mentioned how much I love to shoot in downtown Annapolis?) But, since I don’t know which of their beautiful pictures will be used for their holiday card, I’ll keep them to myself and perhaps share later this winter when I’m itching to post something to the blog during winter doldrums. Until then, enjoy these
