I have been a Benedictine monk of Saint John`s Abbey since 1969 when I left Philadelphia. Sadly, the Sixties were obviously over. Christmas 2002 I acquired my first digital camera, a Canon G3. I am still re-learning whatever little I thought I once knew about photography.
On 17 August 2009 I began work as Coordinator of Information and Records for the Conference of Major Superiors of Men, Silver Spring, Maryland. I live with another monk of Saint John's Abbey who works as a canon and civil lawyer for an association of religious congregations. We share a house in the northern suburbs of Silver Spring. -- Richard osb
