While I'm usually remembered for my sideburns, I hope I'm remembered for my writing, too. Time will tell.

I'd like to be remembered for being a good friend, brother, uncle, etc; however, if one or two people remember me as a photographer, I'll consider that a bonus.

I'd like my name on a nice park bench or a little fountain somewhere in the city.
