My Dash

Walk with me down a captivating road. The lead-ins below are the stops along the way. The road will be smooth, alluring, with a photographic scene. In contrast, it will have huge bumps, hills, curves, and crossroads. Death will be close-by, yet I'm still here. The destination has not been reached.
