Last year I was asked to co-host on an episode of a podcast called The Baton: A John Williams Musical Journey, where host Jeff Commings and I discussed John Williams’ iconic score to the film Jaws.

One of the things I had to learn when I got into photography, was how to take headshots and cast photos for our yearly school musical. All headshot photos have to be in black-and-white and are individually placed in the program next to each student’s name and biographical information. I thought I would share the process that I ended up using that works well for me.

I have started playing the piano again during the pandemic. Music is a great way for me to release stress during this period we are all enduring together. I encourage you to make some time for yourself and engage in some activities that bring you joy. Playing Chopin does that for me.

As a follow-up to my original post on why our brain forgets things, I thought I would cover some recent developments from a research team at the University of Notre Dame. They hypothesized that walking through doorways causes us to forget. It seems that some of our memories are set up to be forgotten as soon as we move on to a new task.
