Visitor Center labels for prints.
Some prints at my printer The Icon in LA, then me with labels to put on the back of the matted photographs for the Santa Monica Mountains Visitor Center exhibition in July 2016. Photos of me by Luis Diaz.
Posing once more with the Martin Luther King book
An African-American friend of mine visited the other day because she wanted to see my book on MLK, and she took this photo of me with his great book WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE: CHAOS OR COMMUNITY?, which is featured in my “fairy tale” about MLK and a couple of kids in 1967. The themes of his book are as relevant today as they were then.
Martin Luther King Day 2016
Today is Martin Luther King Day, so I posed with a first edition Martin Luther King, Jr.’s 1967 book WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE: CHAOS OR COMMUNITY? This vintage copy reminds me that in that year, MLK achieved so much that he imparted to people. I’m holding in my hands a copy that could have been given to my fictional kids in my novel, in 1967, by MLK himself. Photograph by Robert Spencer.
My Tunnel View photograph featured in the 2016 YSVB Visitors Guide
Thanks to everyone at the Yosemite Sierra Visitors Bureau for featuring my photograph. You can see it in the bottom scan, bottom photo, as I took the photograph from inside the tunnel. 
Posing with Martin Luther King Book
Today, at a display at a local bookstore, holding a book about Martin Luther King. Hopefully, next year, I’ll be standing here with my own book about MLK.
I like this image, looking at a great man and reflecting
While I was researching my MLK book, I watched a lot of videos of Martin Luther King giving his speeches, and I listened to them as well, and read them. There certainly hasn’t been as eloquent a speaker since MLK. Check out “The Three Dimensions of a Complete Life”; and “Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence.” I challenge you to listen to MLK give a speech and not get emotional about it. (In other words, you might tear up.)
