Meet Angela.

Angela and I worked at a school in Virginia together.  We are much different, but get along well.  

Angela has a daily planner that is color coded and she can make her own hummus.  She works at a single mother shelter near Washington DC.  

Angela and I stroll through Washington DC together and take many photographs.  It is good to see her again.

Meet Jim.

Jim can’t speak or hear.  We communicate by writing on some scraps of paper he has in his truck.

Jim is going fishing near Knoxville.  He is from Edmonton, Kentucky.

Jim and I enjoy our drive through the mountains of Tennessee and use hand gestures to communicate.

After I took a photograph of him, my phone must have dropped into the floor of his car.  He sends me an email and is sending me my phone back.  Jim also caught 7 fish.
