Day 38 – Graffiti on a Train This was one of those moments where I wasn’t completely prepared to take a picture. I was stopped at a railroad crossing, one of the few in our area without any crossing gates. By the time I reached into the backseat, grabbed my camera out of my [...]
Day 37 – Hey, Can I Borrow Some of this Hair? Here’s another shot from Xander’s birthday party. Whenever Xander gets together with his cousin Kaela, he seems fascinated with her hair. I have caught similar images at other family events. He just reaches up to touch her hair, never pulling. It makes you [...]
