the things i love: my valentine

I couldn't resist... It's Valentine's day, and one of the things I love most is my valentine... Kyle. He is the greatest valentine ever. This was his card to me...

Here is a picture of us on our location scouting adventure on Lady Bird Lake a couple weeks ago.

young love

People always ask what love is. What is love? This is one of those questions that doesn't have a definite answer. I'm not one to answer this question either. But I think most of us can agree on what love isn't, and it isn't easy. It can lift you up and it can ground you in the same second. It can be good, bad, and ugly courtesy of Mr. Leone. Why do we always strive to find this thing that no one can define, something that these days we are either falling in or out of? The real question is if it were easier would it then be worth our efforts?

mom & dad

I love going back and looking at old photos. Actual photographs that were developed and printed and stuck in a box somewhere in the storage closet and also digital photos that you find in the hidden corners of your hard drive. Ones that you forgot about. I love it when you find a great photo that you passed over the first time and rediscover it on second glance. These are my favorite type of photos. This is one I found of my mom and dad not too long ago. I took the picture just last year at my cousin's wedding. I love the way they are looking at each other, after all these years it's exactly the same as photos found in the box from when I was a kid.
