this image of a professional motocross rider charging out of a texas corner has always been one of my favorites because it’s all about the eyes. the throttle is wide open but this young athlete sees only his destination. this singularity of focus is what separates him from those who are behind him and that...

Six miles=link to future. A lesson in perseverance for all.
Changes in life definitely give us a deeper appreciation for the real things, like family and friends. You are one of the most successful men I know. Look at the depth of love and support you have. Wow! Much love to you can Carol, I hope to make it to Denver soon.
Man
I feel so much better now that regular reports of your progress are easily available. Your progess is on my mind daily. Keep it up.
We have always thought the world of you , Will. Your strength & determination will get you through this difficult,albeit temporary, time.
Will someone just said to me after watching a video of you that this is amazing to see what you are going through. Then he said it just makes you want to cheer him on. I think that pretty much sums up what my FB friends are feeling.

Go for it Will. You not only have your own sheer intestinal fortitude edging you along, but the seemingly boundless support of your family and friends. We are all pulling for you.
awesome outlook – just keep plugging like you’ve been and before you know it you’ll be looking back on this entire journey
at this point, making new photographs for the blog is a bit challenging, so i’m falling back on some old favorites i can use as inspiration to express how things are going right now with my injury. one thing i’ve always thought a lot about is physical space, and in particular, the physical space that...

I feel your words. I grew up in the Texas Panhandle, daughter of a dry land farmer. As my space has grown smaller with my age, I have found my mind and soul have found grander boundaries. It works. Mike has shared your journey with me, and you and Carol are in my thoughts and prayers as you push through your boundaries. God bless you both! Melinda
Damn, Will, who needs a camera when you can write this well? Very nicely done, my friend. Guys like you drive me crazy with your superior right AND left brains 
We’re thinking about you!
Mike
That’s the spirit Will! Keep up the good work!
Will, I really enjoyed reading your blog. Beautiful words — took me straight to llano estacado and other quiet, wide-open spaces in my memories!
Mark and I were kids together in school — lived in the same part of town — kinda in the country. Apparently you two share the same creative gene!!
Anyway, just wanted to say hello and tell you my thoughts and prayers are with you and Carol.

Will, when I met you at Uncle Julio’s with MeMe, Phil and Dean, I took down your website because your photography was an inspiration to what can be achieved with a camera. Little did I know your site and words could be an inspiration for life! My heart broke when I read about your accident. It now soars.
Will and Carol: Lyrics from U2′s song “Unknown Caller” I heard in Amsterdam. The whole song reminds me of y’all and especially, “Restart, reboot yourself”. Love the picture, but you see all the little weeds around the tree? That’s all of us out here thinking, praying and supporting you! Peace Brother…….
Will, you are a wonderful writer & photographer! we are praying for you every day and know you will have a recovery that amazes the dr’s. I hope you enjoyed the brownies.
beautifully written Will. Powerful… just like your spirit.
It amazes me how you continue to inspire us inspite of circumstance.Love you and Carol….
Will, I pray for every day. I am sure GOD will help you recover.I plan to be there in Oct. for Benjamin’s 3rd Birthday.JJ will take me to see you then.
This post titled “solitude” is very timely for me, Will. I just returned from a week long business trip to Washington state. However, before coming home, I rented a Yamaha, V-Start 1800cc Raider the last two days and just took off, by myself, to the North Cascades the first day and the “solitude” of the ride to Grand Coulee Dam the second day. Being on a big motorcycle with nothing but the low rumble of two big cylinders and wide open spaces in front me gave me the mental recharge I so needed. You’ve been there. You know what its like. I treasure the rides and memories we’ve had and anxiously wait our next ones together.
All I can say is WOW !! You and Carol are amazing people and wonderful friends .. Miss you both ! Stay strong !
Will, you really brought back memories for me with this blog. Your description of wheat harvest brought back all those feelings for me as well. Since I grew up less than four miles from your house, I can definitely relate. Keep up the fight. I look forward to the day when I can enjoy your motocross pictures again. Andrew says to tell you hello, as well. The pictures you took of him in the Sunbelt series are some of his most cherished photos.
That’s beautiful Will…amazing outlook.
I am following you… and continue to review your website, I think of you so often and wish you a speedy recovery. Your sojourn, photos and writing have inspired me. My best to you and Carol. Will, you keep going and I will keep praying. Hugs and more tomatoes! LD
