While working in St. Louis this week, photos of Tom Oswald were projected on the large screens in the front of the room. Seeing the images larger than life-size made me pause for a second as I flashed back to the day I tripped the shutter and captured the image. I remember the weather, the conversations, the co-workers with me and the relief that I caught a usable portrait after driving three hours.
Joe - the photos you took of my father, Tom Wall, have been and will continue to be treasured by my family. I had the exact photo of him that you feature in this article atop a large barrel and alongside a candle, greeting guests into my husband and I's wedding reception. Thank you for capturing him so well in his element. - Rachel (Wall) Sweeney
Beautiful reflection, and as always, beautiful images. You put your heart and soul into your work, Joe, and I admire it so much. Thanks for sharing your talents!
its amazing how looking at a photo can take us back in time. Keep up the good work Joe.
