One quotation from Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s “The Little Prince” has stuck with me since childhood: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”(hmm…an unusual quotation for a photographer to love…perhaps much of photography is a Quixote-like quest to make the essential visible…) At any…

Frank Enderle ~ June 1988 Of all the pictures I’ve created, this remains one of my favorite. I’d just finished my junior year of high school and was leaving in a few days to spend the rest of the summer in Denmark. (That summer I was a Y.F.U. summer exchange student; coincidently, though I wouldn’t…

Amy, what a wonderful tribute to a man that obviously lived life to the fullest and always thought of others first. And what a wonderful way to start a Monday morning–with a reminder of what is important. Thanks for sharing this obviously personal picture and memories…have a great week!

I must confess… it was me, JB with S3, who described the Fugue to you as a mythical creature with the head and talons of an eagle and the backside of Jennifer Lopez. Thanks for doing your homework. I will start giving people the correct def now that I’m in the know!August 23, 2006 – 8:02 am
so much to update, but haven’t quite found the time ….most recently, Kim’s been in San Diego shooting a wedding and ohh, ahh, I can’t wait to see those images. I’ve been away and with family of late…first a fun out-of-town trip then, not so fun. Grandpa Frank passed away. He lived to be 93…

Jessica & Jamey, July 15, 2006, Boonville, Missouri: This little town of Boonville [pop. 8000] is about half an hour outside of Columbia and let me just say that the POSITIVE perspective of the people whose lives I’ve documented from there has been downright inspiring. 1st this example I shared with my friend Tracy Crowe…

Amy your photography style gives new meaning to the saying “a picture is worth a thousand words.” I have really enjoyed getting to observe you document weddings this summer! Your work is priceless and your ability to capture the special moments and the intimate glances that are taking place between these couples are magical. Thanks again for letting me tag along….

Amy – I read your blog over and over and always get touched by the heartfelt emotion I find. As a former “SilverBox Bride” and HUGE fan, let me say thank you for getting so involved with each of your couples, their families, and their friends. It doesn’t matter whose pictures I browse, I always end up feeling like I know them because of how you capture the most amazing moments. You are a blessing!! Thanks for being in our lives!!August 23, 2006 – 10:06 am
Was able to get together for some girl time this past weekend at a quiet little resort in Innsbrook, Missouri [about 45 minutes from the St. Louis airport.] We giggled about our college days, shared stories & dilemmas, went for a walk along the nature trail & swam in the lake. Pictured here: the dock…

PAGLIAI’S IS A FRANCHISE???? I am going to have to look into having them come out to Manhattan, Kansas! I need a ronza!
Your photos are beautiful, as always. Thanks for the trip down memory lane to Kirksville! ~Christi EverettAugust 3, 2006 – 9:12 pm
mmmmm, Ronzas…
remember BABY Ronzas on Fridays?
have to share this:
my family’s favorite tradition is that on Christmas Day we don’t go anywhere, but instead stay in our pajamas all day to play at home with whatever new toys & games Santa left AND eat RONZAS! This year Tycho [age 5] ate all of his with the new chopsticks he got in his stocking. Could that be a first? A Ronza eaten entirely by chopstick?
one final memory: Paul and I still make inside jokes about having a Ronza delivered & then tossing that bag of chips in the corner. During our dating years, the first time I opened up his bachelor-pad-apt cabinet it was stuffed full of those chips. A knife however, was nowhere to be found.
How’s Manhattan treating you?August 3, 2006 – 9:33 pm

Jennie - I really keep thinking that I’m going to stop commenting on the blog…it looks like I do nothing other than read your blog. I couldn’t help but comment, though…you two have made me cry TWICE in one week now!!!!! Such beautiful images, capturing such heart and such love. Every time I look at the blog, I come home with a renewed interest in living passionately, fully, without frustration and impatience. I don’t know how you do it, but your pictures (and accompanying music, usually) just inspire. So I guess I just thought that you should know.
Have a great week, and keep on inspiring.
