"Something Inside So Strong"
“We knew it was one in a million
It was such a long shot
Somehow we got here together
And who knows what will happen
Anything can happen
If we keep getting better
And we keep on believing.
“When you put your heart in it
It can take you anywhere
Who’s to say that we can’t make it
It’s the same dream that we share
When you put your heart in it
It can take you anywhere.”
-Kenny Rogers "When You Put Your Heart In It"
He is one of our newest members, and quite possibly the youngest! The work of Robert Duffield is cover material, and likely to prompt new but somewhat familiar-sounding expressions:
…“Like mother, like son.”
…“Good photographers come in small packages.”
…“The early bird catches the image.”
Sandcastles-- the very essence and substance of dreams... and-- very often-- where they are born! Put your heart in it and keep clickin’, Robert… It can take you ANYwhere! The same applies to ALL of you, my friends!
