instant classics
every once in a while something catches your eye and you know it’s going to be an instant classic. the picture above is one of those “somethings”. i call it Our Mama. we went out to take family pictures but i was ill equipped and didn’t have a tripod. and it was cold and windy, and the sun was setting fast so the light was soon disappearing. so i’d set up my camera to just start snapping a bunch of pictures every few seconds. this is one of the ones taken while i was still trying to balance it on the hood of our minivan, before i ran over to be in the picture.
