My car broke down near the Hope Mills Municipal Park, so I decided to take a feature pic as I waited for the tow truck.

I Miss You Mom.

My mother passed away at the end of April this year, after a long bout with breast cancer.
When I was looking through photos for the funeral slideshow, I came to the grim realization that I never really took many pictures of my mother or family in the past ten years. When I would go home to visit I would throw my camera in the corner, if I took it with me at all. At the time, I saw my vacations as a vacation from my camera. I regret it now, esp. since my mother was the only one that really believed in me turning my photography into a career. Now I have tons of photos of complete strangers and just a handful of photos of my family that I have taken.

I guess the reason I'm writing all this is because I want to tell you all that you should take pictures of your friends and family every chance you get. You never know when the chance will be gone.
