For awhile Kim and I have been trying to figure out how to take a picture of Murrow when he’s looking out the window of the back seat.  He always looks like he’s working through some sort of deep philosophical thought…although he’s probably just trying to figure out how he can make the world slow… Continue reading Back Seat Thinker
