My cousins came to visit. We haven't stayed close since childhood. Life happens and families take different paths. But, we have memories and it is fun to bring up the memories and see which ones we share. As they are brother and sister they share the past and will share the future as they head in that direction. Perhaps we all will now that we have reconnected.
It has taken me quite a while to consider myself a photographer.In my lifetime I have been daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, empty nester, widow, and partner.Never in those years was I a photographer. Frankly, except for family memories, I didn't have time. Some might, and have said that I am stubborn.I prefer determined.When I had time later in my life to learn new skills, I decided to be determined about photography.It has been a Life changing,challenging new skill. I have always seen stories in the world around me,now I have a way to tell them.
