Just marking the occasion…

Seems to me the best way to mark the 10th anniversary of this blog is to point you to the essay that inspired it — a few words about art and discernment written by my friend, mentor, and high school English teacher, the photographer Michael Demkowicz. It’s called “Mystery and Message: What We Talk About When We Talk About Art.” It’s the closest thing this blog has to a mission statement.

Stay tuned for ongoing 10th anniversary posts, as I continue to look back at the highlights of each year of Looking Closer’s first decade.
