2004: This year we decided to add a remembrance alter for our dearly departed. It's very much inspired by the Mexican tradition, but ours was quite different. (See the end of Part II for a description of ours.) Also, I organized all of the remembrances from past years into a binder.

Portraits: Donna and Sue

8/1/04: I went down to Mom and Donna's house for a photoshoot. It was fun, and it was a pretty nice day, sunny but not too hot.
I find that, more often than not, people like really calm smiley pictures of themselves and they have problems with anything that shows personality. My theory is that they never get to see themselves that way. Really you'd have to spend your entire life in front of mirror in order to. But often their friends and family will prefer the shots that show more personality. Because of course they are familiar with it.
I really like getting more personal shots of people. So, as much as possible, I will be focusing on that in the future. And hopefully I'll be able to strike a balance where I can make myself happy as well as the people I'm taking pictures of.

7/27/04: I got to see Charles de Lint in person again. He played his guitar and sang a couple songs, read a few pages from his most recently published book, told us about some of his favorite books he's read, answered audience questions, and signed books.
I find him to be very sweet and generous. A pleasure to read, and listen to.

Sept. trip to the zoo

Went to the zoo a couple weeks ago with my Mom and Grandma. We went first thing in the morning and I saw a lot more animals then I usually do, in the afternoon. I'll have to remember this. It seems they get fed first thing and last thing during the zoos open hours and so they are more active then. In between they are more likely to be napping.

The joys of having a sunset wedding at the beach even in Summer:
