"Ife is too short, too precious to be viewed through a rear view mirror." Beautifully said! Thank you.

whawhaWEEwaa!! I postponed watching Dateline to watch this. Loved every second.
I can’t imagine you doing anything worthwhile in under an hour. And that’s why I love thee.
Now for part 2!!

Well done. This is a journey I will enjoy watching you take. I learned a lot for my own art. I am waiting to carve out time for part 2.

where is your podcast??

[@barjung]

This inspires me to pick up my wife’s camera and start shooting. What’s the music that accompanies your pencil sharpener shots?

[@johnepattison]

That song is called “Love Aside” by Patrick Patrikios. He’s on TH-cam here: th-cam.com/channels/TPI2hZYxoHtdGEpdFoaU5A.html
I downloaded the song from the TH-cam music library.
I’m going to put the song information in the credits. Thanks for watching, Barry!
