Michael Deering.

The creative process has been woven into my fabric since I can remember. A close-knit family of 9 provided me a healthy appreciation of independence, creativity and an unrelenting passion for arts & education. Likewise, awareness of the uniqueness of self and the world in which we exist was nurtured regularly.

I have no doubt that this appreciation for the unique inspired both my career and the epiphany of 11/1/1996 ... the day I grabbed my 35mm film camera and proclaimed I was embarking on a photographic journey to capture just one single shot each and every day. A photo that in some way/shape or form signified that day in my life. 

Now, a quarter-century & 9000+ photos later, I've opted to share not only my story, but the many stories this oft-challenging, yet always wonderful world has provided me.
