My Mother Is A Better Photographer Than I Will Ever Be

Back from California, and let me tell you: It was an adventure. Poetry, music, theme parks, attacking emus, trips to the emergency room! I'll get around to writing it all down soon enough. But I went to work today after flying a redeye back to New England, so I'm a little wiped right now. So instead, I'll draw attention to a fact that I've known for a long time, but which I've not really talked much about publicly: That my mother kicks my ass as a photographer.

Here's a nice shot she took of me and Lea when we went to Universal Studios:

Lastly, here's us, at breakfast at Harbor House in Dana Point:



Seriously. And all of these are on her phone. The woman has mad camera skills.
