Dennis Olgas, owner of DOS Salon in Palm Desert, CA., where I get my hair cut regularly, supported a fundraiser called Preventing Suicide in STYLE by offering $20 haircuts to adults and children with all proceeds going to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. He asked me to take some photos.
Pictured in the group photo, far right, is Jessica van der Stad, Area Director for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

There was a tree filled with photos of loved ones and notes expressing beloved farewells just outside the salon.
In a world of so many great photographers and writers, I am venturing into some unknown territories, leaving comfort zones, finally very willing to practice the art of seeing. By maintaining the practice of posting daily photos, I hope to continue learning about the possibilities that I trust are out there for the taking.
