In photographs we seek to capture a moment in time. This is particularly true with babies and children...the time flies and they grow up quickly, so we want to capture those life stages. This is of particular focus for my family presently as even at only two weeks old we can see Lennon changing already. [...]
Additional commentary…
Today seems like a good day to do some catching up on a few of my blogs over the past couple of weeks that seem to beg for additional commentary. In regard to my blog yesterday - Thank you City of Fargo! - Guy says, "Would you please explain why a similar article written by a man about a [...]
