A Collection of Memories

Through Angelo’s Eyes (Photos)

These photographs hold pieces of Angelo’s life — the places he went, the animals he cared for, the people he loved and the moments that will always be remembered.

Take your time here. This is less a gallery than a walk through memory: sunlight, dust, tall grass, and a man who never saw a creature as anything less than a life.
