One of the beautiful things about photography is being able to capture a moment and catch things forever. Even the things that don't last forever.

This is Duke who since our photo shoot has had to move on. Duke passed away about a week ago, but mind you at a double digit age and years after being told he would not live long due to cancer. Instead this survivor learned to manage his world on 3 legs, not 4. He impressed me the day we met for the shoot by climbing all the way up and all the way back down from our location on top of the ski jumps at the Olympic Park! Amazing guy. I'm grateful for having met Duke that day and to capture at least his beautiful image before he had to go.

Thanks Duke, you'll be missed.
