.312 day 281

early morning pow-wow with my neighbors. the air was crisp for a summer day.

(then again, the weather hasn't accurately reflected the seasons for some time now)

dee. pisces. my mother. my heart.

so early, i still had crust in my eyes.

i adore kim and her entire clan. we went from neighbors to friends to family and i would do anything for her.

(she affectionately calls toots', "applesauce")

the only one missing is her oldest son, cj, the teen, the virgo i have vowed to shoot.

that's kim's husband, dre. gemini. drummer.

married eleven years, they show me that love surpasses even the biggest of bumps in the road.

that love takes work. and that it's a work well worth the strife of the struggle.

the virgo who single-handedly changed my perception of them all.

her heart is so rare. she's my booski.

dee and kim are devout coffee drinkers.

toots adores jay and he adores her. he's my mini-manny!
(he'll soon be accompanying me to shoots to care for my littles)

single mom-artist-ish means i have to be creative. day-care centers are not an option.

i love running into friends unexpectedly...pulling out my camera even more unexpectedly...and getting to capture the awkward facial expressions of an equally awkward moment (but the most awkward moments are when i run into friends unexpectedly...and they are camera-ready, equipped with poses and all. eek! why? just...why?).

anyway, this is free. friend. cancer. indie artist. adorably awkward.

.310 father's day

the idea started out simple enough. but take a busy toddler in need of a nap and hopped up off of homemade banana ice-cream and chocolate and it becomes a task greater than i had the energy for today. i didn't get the image(s) i desired, but the sentiment is still the same...

happy father's day, daddy. you're missed. you're loved. you're here. and, we honor you.
