Broken Roads

We have not posted any photo poems for awhile, so it seemed like the time to put another out there.

This three-part piece is penned by the lovely and talented Laura Bennett, and once again, I am extremely grateful for the fantastic words she wrote to accompany my pictures.

We hope you enjoy it, and thank you very much for reading.

    Very cool to see you guys return to ‘photo poems’!!! I enjoyed these tremendously as they resonate in my soul. That long lonely road brings back vivid memories of my journey. You guys tackled this smoother than Lawrence Taylor ending Joe’s career. Hats off to both of you for a fantastic job. 🙏🙏💖

      I really don’t have too much of a hand in these. I have the easy job if we’re being totally honest. 😄
      I just take a few pics and Laura makes the magic happen.

    This is amazing Laura and Kevin 🤩👏👏👏 Truly fantastic collaboration 💯

    Hey, I had a thought. I sometimes create up to 10 images per day on DDG. Mostly only one in ten images ever goes online.

    Meaning I have a huge vault of unused/unseen images. Would someone be interested in a collaborative work/writing words to these images? I can’t handle this on my own anymore. My writing is a bit at a standstill, but the image creation is still outpouring. At least, someone should be inspired by these images 🤔

    Have a wonderful Sunday 🌞

      I can’t take too much of the credit, but I am certainly happy to be a part of it. 😊

      If you have some images from the vault that you’d like to share, I’d be interested in taking a crack at it sometime. I enjoy a little variety in creative endeavors! 👍👍

        I tidy up and reorganise my folders on DDG to get an overview. As soon as that’s finished, I’ll transfer a package of pics. Could take a few days however. So thank you for your patience in advance 🙏
