Photo Mom

When I was in high school I had a friend (Mormon), and her mother brought a camera everywhere and took constant pictures. She was apsolutely in love with her beautiful three girls, and really, everyone else was too. And then she died of cancer in my senior year. A mother like that, and mine is the one that lives. So maybe I can be that mom. Maybe if I obsessively document every event of our lives, it will feel like it's more concrete and worthwhile to actually live. "I didn't have fun, but I got some good pictures." I do feel a guilt if I don't get enough pictures in a certain timespan. But why do I NEED them?

So we went to a concert in the local park. They have local singers and groups come in. It was nice. Although with a certain country twange, he had a good voice, personality, and writing ability. And I have documented it. Not the singer, mind you, but us while we were there.

Is anyone with a slow connection being bothered by the abundance of pictures? Terribly sorry. Isn't the new template better? The yellow was making me sick.
