I had the pleasure of being the photographer for Cleveland GiveCamp 2026. Lots of volunteer IT work was done for area non-profs by crazy-smart volunteers & dedicated support staff. Only one 1 photo was taken of me - from behind - while I was shooting. Links to GiveCamp & the photos in [More]

This is the crew of volunteers who made Cleveland GiveCamp 2026 happen! Note that the blank computers screens represent people who attended and programmed remotely. Someone is working on inserting screenshots of the remote folks for the final version.Jonathan Knapp, GiveCamp Leader took this picture while giving me horns as I shoot a group photo of some of theGive Camp volunteers. I think this is the only official shot of me and I generally like it that way

An incredible cover by Norwegian Jørgen Dahl Moe. Right down to the very last beautiful note. I think Bruce Springsteen would approve 100%. Hope he has heard this. I keep playing over and over. Enjoy!
