Dear, sweet Acacia Land. One of the most influential people in my after forty life in Ashland, Oregon. I first saw this angel of light pushing a stroller down the street shortly after moving to Ashland in 2002. I vowed to request that she allow me to photograph her should we come into close contact. That day came after I began selling my photography at the Lithia Artisan's Market later that year. This beacon of hope continually challenged and tormented by life's many challenges he has opted for a path of healing and peace for all of us in her selfless quest to save people from themselves. I've been in love with Acacia since the day I slayed eyes on her and am eternally grateful for her unconditional love and passion for life.
