The Shotgun Anniversary




Few people embody the true spirit of individualism and diversity like this unlikely couple. One comes from Florida, the other from the Pacific NW…their ages, background and races are completely opposite but the sincere devotion they share is without equal!

These two are fabulous people with sincere and warm hearts. Ruby is FLAMBOYANT and loves to wrap her head in brightly colored fabrics, armor her wrists with layers of bracelets and drape enough necklaces for 10 ladies around her neck. She says that quite often strangers will ask her what African country she is from. With a light-hearted chuckle she chooses to get a kick out of this response rather than take offense!

Seen from behind, Lowell’s long gray hair reveals dread locks and the full beard in front along with the festive hats he likes to wear often give people the idea he is caught in a 1960’s time warp. Again….they laugh about the response the pair of them inspire! I get the biggest kick out of seeing them drive up in their sporty little convertible, top down and the back seat commandeered by their 100+ lb. black German Shepherd. What a sight!

This summer Ruby and Lowell will celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary. Several times through out the history of their love affair they have posed for those old time saloon scenes of bygone days. So to commemorate their special milestone they came to me wanting to keep the tradition alive but with a twist. You can see the result!
