This book is an assembly of poems (word images) and pictures (visual images) used to illustrate the poems. So, I called it Images of Life. My poetry is an attempt to express my worldview. First, of Jesus Christ and what I think about society. Then, my experiences and my thoughts and perceptions of those experiences. I think beliefs make us who and what we are, and that our perception of our experience has as great an influence on us as the actual experience itself-perhaps greater. I have always been a visual person. I love taking pictures. I enjoy the art and science of photography. In this book I tried to create something that appeals to one's eye and mind. I wanted to write something thought provoking-something that would have meaning. My hope is that God will be glorified and that people will read and enjoy this book as much I enjoyed creating it. So, to those who will read this book, I express my hope that you enjoy it and that you gain from reading my book.
