So from time to time I'll post as things cross my path pertaining to Reflections of Christ. The bottom line is that I'm grateful that the Reflections of Christ project and collaborators let me learn that art could totally transport me to a new place and leave me different than it found me. If you're looking for warm and fuzzy, perhaps don't turn on our show. I still work on trafficking projects with Tim, mainly our podcast called "Slave Stealer". Again, my heart was stretched to new lows and highs that I didn't know existed. I began to go on a few undercover operations with Tim to different countries. At the time he was a Homeland Security Agent working on ending child sex trafficking. Not long before I left the Blaze I was introduced to Tim Ballard.
Hutch left me his bull whip and gave me a hat from his men's group "D Group" that sits on my shelf.

Looking back, after Hutch, I didn't have much left to do in TV that moved me. "Hutch" taught me a ton about love in the 6 months that I worked with him right up until he died of the terminal cancer that had vexed him for 14 years. He was a Minister in Seattle who used to play linebacker for the Cowboys. Toward the end of my time at The Blaze I produced a show with an iconic man named Ken Hutcherson. So when I say "tanked my career", I mean that it moved the bar so high in one area that it wasn't worth trying to jump there again.Īfter Reflections was published I had a little time on my hands, so I went and finished my degree and my masters (full disclosure: once my masters was all finished I was filled and didn't bother applying for graduation so it's still hanging out there).įrom there, I had a fantastic stint producing TV/Music/Film/Writing at. That was a different kind of creativity and spirit.) There were families that asked to be photographed before the way-too-early death of a parent for instance. (I need to say, there are some portraits that are more sacred to me than any of my creative work. It was more like, after the highs of creation it was tough for me to get excited about shooting things that didn't give me goosebumps. It wasn't that clients stopped calling, I love my clients from Mabry Studios. The Reflections of Christ project tanked my photography career. Music and film were so important, but I'm going to blog about those later. Each piece framed perfectly for what it represented. Rob Brinton, the most talented framer I've ever met, donated the framed exhibit. He wasn't allowed to put anything "permanent" so he floated the walls on foam and held it all in place with one screw in the ceiling. My brother-in-law Kim Eaton volunteered to build walls with soffits and lights. I'm not sure who took this picture, but thanks. we just sat in the exhibit and were a little emotional at seeing it all come together. One of the highlights of that entire exhibit though was the night before the opening when we had just finished hanging the art and turning on the music. (I'll probably tell more stories about that later)
One of the top 10 nights of my life was on when David and Darelyn Peterson put together a Reflections of Christ gallery opening at the Mesa Temple Visitor Center.
