“The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformist, who are dedicated to justice, peace, and brotherhood. The trailblazers I human, academic, scientific, and religious freedom have always been nonconformists. In any cause that concerns the progress of mankind, put your faith in the nonconformist!”
~Martin Luther King Jr. Strength to Love (1963)

The above quote really resonated with me today because of the political upheaval going on in America now. Hopefully were not taking a giant step backwards, as it seems from my prospective.
Hopefully history will prove me wrong!

Hope this photo brightens  your day, despite today’s political climate.

Stay Strong!

On July 3, 2016, I had a chance to visit the Traveling Vietnam Tribute Wall when it arrive in Chino, CA. and it was truly amazing to view this tribute wall and if it ever makes it to a city near you I highly recommend it.
I first saw it during the day and one of the volunteers recommended that I return at night and since it was open for twenty four hours I decided to come back at 11:30 p.m when I figured I would be able to capture some photos without the crowds and I’m glad I did.
I was especially moved by the lone visitor reading the names of the fallen solders underneath  the night sky and you could tell he was deep in the solitude of his thoughts.
