In the January issue of Guideposts, page 58 called Into the Beauty, I have an article about me which features some of my pictures and a short video. I wasn’t looking forward to the live interview mainly because of my stroke issues, but all and all, I think it went well.
The magazine should be on sale now, but you can read it online, minus the pictures, here: Finding God Through His Camera Lens.

Congratulations, and you did well in the video too!
Hi Mike, just read your story in Guideposts and had to come check out your site. Looking forward to hearing more from you on your blog. I am definitely adding you to my blogroll, especially since you are just up the road apiece from Fresno.
Hi. I, too, just read your story in Guideposts. I enjoyed it so much that I had to google around to find your website! Your photography is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your story!!
Mike, your photographs and posts always amaze me. We were out of town, doing New years with ol Zeke and Marcy, so I haven’t gotten my Mag issue yet but I’m looking forward to it.

Thanks everybody!
Hi Mike,
Just read you story in Guideposts and had to come find your website. I think you’re who I want to be when I grow up…..well, maybe without the fused knees and at almost 61 I’m supposed to be grown up already. Love your photos. I looked through your backyard pics of the birds. Makes me want to get a better camera and learn how to use something besides a point and shoot because those are exactly the kind of photos that I want to take! Keep the faith and good luck to you!
Hi Mike, Just read your article in Guideposts and am now checking out your website! I love your story and your work! God bless you and keep doing what you’re doing!! Deut. 30:9, “And the Lord your God will make you abundantly prosperous in every work of your hand.”
Unlike most of the others that have posted here, I’ve known Mike and his work since before the knee problems. He has helped me hike many miles (albeit, vicariously), and for that I will always be grateful.

Mike, you’ve fought a battle most people wouldn’t even think of, and from afar, I’ve seen God open a window where a door had closed. The old saying, “when the going gets tough, the tough get going,” and words like determination and perseverance, must have been penned just for you. I’ve watched your work get better and better over the years, and look forward to what you’ll show us in the future.
I’m proud to call you my friend, and I pray God will continue to bless you in ways neither of us can imagine.
Where’s that blushing emoticon…LOL!
The door may have closed in your hiking in the high country Mike, but God gave you the gift of photography.
MIKE, ENJOYED THE ARTICLE IN GUIDEPOSTS. I READ THE MAGAZINE OVER THE AIR HERE IN CINCINNATI. IT WILL BE A PLEASURE TO READ YOUR STORY AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL INSPIRE THE BLIND FOLKS WHO HEAR IT TO GAIN COURAGE AND KNOW THAT THEY TO CAN SUCCEED. THANKS FOR THE PHOTOS AND THE SHARING OF YOUR LIFE. SINCERELY, BR.DOMINIC LOCOCO OFM
Awsome video, it really says a lot as to how one can overcome.
It just shows anything is possible if you want it bad enough. Thank you for sharing the inspiring video, Mike.
