Photograph

I usually tell my story through words, but there's something about a picture that tells you a story.


Stand up tall
Get closer together
A little to the left
Now smile

picture

~noun

a visual representation of a person, object, or scene, as apainting, drawing, photograph, etc.

I love this picture.  It is a picture of my dad's young family.  I think its amazing to see the foundation of something that means so much to me now.

I made fun of my mom for hunting all of us down to take a family picture before we left NY.  Its the first picture we've taken as a family in over a year.  Now that I have it, I find myself staring at it and feeling a huge sense of pride.  It makes me feels such warmth knowing that I am part of something bigger than I am.

So thanks mom...I was wrong :)
