Enthusiastic observer of light, love & all things living.

Greetings beautiful blog people. Welcome to the newly renovated visual:ramblings. Here you'll find stories of love, tid-bits of wisdom and visual ramblings detailing the life and times of yours truly. The idea here is not to simply showcase my work, but to establish and maintain an interactive environment where readers and contributors become one in the same - as this space does not belong to me, but to all who breathe life into it through reading, embracing and reacting to its visual randomness. I sincerely hope that you enjoy your visit and look forward to a wonderful journey together.

Hunter's Hope Foundation :: Rochester, NY Event Photography

"It's been written that the trademark of my career was toughness. The toughest person I ever met in my life was my son, my hero, Hunter. I love you, buddy."
-Jim Kelly - Pro Football Hall of Fame Induction Speech : 2002

Shortly after his birth in 1997, Hunter Kelly - son of NFL Quarterback Jim Kelly & author/activist Jill Kelly - was diagnosed with Globoid-Cell Leukodystrophy (Krabbe disease) - a rare, degenerative disorder of the Central Nervous System. Eight years later the disease would claim his life, but not the fire that continues to burns bright in the hearts and minds of those whose lives he touched. In honor of his strength and in the hopes of raising World-wide awareness of the fight against Krabbe disease, the Kelly Family established The Hunter's Hope Foundation in 1997. Through it's efforts, the Foundation aims to provide hope to struggling families and to bring about legislation that mandates the screening of newborns for all possible diseases.

The following are images gathered from the recent Hunter's Hope Candlelight Ball at the Radisson Hotel in Downtown Rochester. The event was meticulously planned and executed - and good times were had by all. Most importantly, it was brought to life by the many volunteers, vendors and attendees who gave so generously of their time and means to something bigger than themselves. It was an honor to participate in such an amazing effort.
