Bernd Mergener: My intent for this Blog is to record and show Moments in American Life. This came about in the wake of two strokes that I had in February which rendered me unable to continue my Blacksmithing career (self-employed for twenty years) which I have done since age fourteen. I have lived with the American tribe for forty years and was very welcomed when I came from the shores of Germany to marry one lovely girl (Lee). I have begun a new hobby, photography. For forty years I have observed life in this country. If I had a degree from Harvard it would be in Anthropology. The sale of my tools allowed me to buy a camera and I had the help of friends to set up my blog. My intent is to take pictures that tell a story or if you look close enough, becomes a movie in itself. The subjects and events will be diverse and I hope that my pictures will reflect/depict my goal to show true American moments. I look forward to sharing my pictures and thoughts with you and hope you will share your feedback as well. Bernd Mergener
