This is an image of Sam and me that I took today.     I read an article on Facebook not that long ago about making sure we take pictures with the people we love so they have those images when we are long gone.    Yes, I am guilty of not taking pictures because I look at them and think, ugh.   I look back at the pictures that I have of when I was younger and there are only a few of my mom and I.      I do wish I had more photos to show my children what my Mom or even my Grandma looked like years ago.   We would not care if they was heavier, thinner, long or short hair or wrinkles.      I am sure those photos would do one thing, bring a smile.

This was a resolution for me this year to not just take more pics, but be in them.   Now I am publishing on the web what a huge step.   I think this picture is nice otherwise it would not be on here believe me.    I am very grateful for photoshop to hide some of the crows feet, whiten the teeth just a little and to remove the pimple I had on my cheek that should only happen to a 13 yr old.    I added a nice little preset to make it slightly b&w, but the photo is still me.

I am going to try a post a photo of month of me and various members of the family or doing something I love.  I may even let someone else take it...GASP!
