It is my pleasure to share that one of my photographs will be included in the Kansas City Artists Coalition annual members' show. The show, which features small works at affordable prices. #art #photography #KansasCityArtistsCoalition

Happy Halloween! #Halloween #photography

As of today, People Not Politicians has gathered more than 150,000 signatures on the anti-gerrymandering petition. We needed a minimum of 107,000, but we're going to keep gathering and bury the Missouri Secretary of State in signatures so he knows the Will of the People. #gerrymandering #Missouri

Once again, I am honored to be included in a show at HJ's Gallery. Unfortunately I will be attending a wedding out of town on the date of the artists' reception, but I wanted to share because so many fine artists whose work is also included in the show will be there. #photography #HJsGallery

I'm delighted to share that Pure Street Photography selected this image of mine as a semi finalist in their 2025 Awards. I encourage you to check out all the semi finalists, finalists and winners in this competition. There's so much fabulous photography! #photography

This week President Trump received his annual influenza vaccine and COVID booster shots (evidently disregarding the advice of his Health Secretary). If you haven't gotten your vaccines yet, you really should. #vaccination #vaccine #influenza #COVID

The next artists need a little more time to hang their show, so I'll be taking down my exhibit a couple days early. Still plenty of time to come by and see it, though! #photography

This government shutdown is on Republicans for refusing to negotiate. Democrats must continue to hold the line to protect our healthcare.

Rumor has it that some pharmacies aren't asking for proof of conditions that make you eligible for the COVID vaccine this fall. The check-in app at a pharmacy in my neighborhood only asked me to describe my high-risk factors. It did not ask for a prescription (although I had one). #COVID #vaccine

Not sure whether you're eligible to receive the COVID vaccine this year? The CDC's list of "Underlying Conditions and the Higher Risk for Severe COVID-19" includes relatively common issues such as asthma, depression, obesity and physical inactivity.

I got my COVID vaccination yesterday! Not sure where to obtain the COVID vaccine near you? Check out this app:

It was a great day to gather signatures on the redistricting petition at the 18th & Vine Arts Festival #PeopleNotPoliticiansMO #redistricting #petition #Missouri

Three lawsuits and a referendum: New Missouri congressional map faces multiple attacks • Missouri Independent Immediately after Missouri Republicans passed a gerrymandered congressional map lawsuits were filed challenging its constitutionality.

Today I took the redistricting referendum petition to my first event, and almost everyone I spoke with signed. Democrats, Republicans and Independents. The most common reaction I heard was: "They shouldn't have done this without consulting us first."

I'm delighted to share that three of my photographs will be included in another group show opening in HJ's Gallery in Brookside. Stay tuned for more details! #photograph #KansasCity #Missouri #HJsGallery

Disney has put Jimmy Kimmel on indefinite leave in violation of his free-speech rights, and that action threatens the free-speech rights of all of us. After a family discussion, we have cancelled our Disney Plus subscription and sold all of our Disney stock. Will you join us? #jimmykimmel #Disney

Missouri citizens: Protect our Congressional maps! We're launching a referendum to keep HB1 from becoming law. I'll post a news article with more information in the comments below. #gerrmander

Good luck!

Agreed. I do wish people would stop re-posting (especially memes) and instead write or do something more constructive.
