1.19.2015 - Motherhood

Here's to all mothers.  This is the photo that moves me the most over the last few days.  A moment of routine life is invariably my favorite.  I have a number of shots of MLC this weekend for my "portrait a week series", but after a long day, this is what it comes down to  . . . . day in and day out.  Now it's bath time and then bed time . . . it's always something.  I pull my weight, but fatherhood is different I think.  I've been pretty deeply moved by my observation of motherhood over the last 5 or 6 months.  It really is beautiful to watch.  It requires at least 10 times the effort I imagined it might.  It's full of marvelous joy of course, but it really is never ending in a way that I couldn't have imagined.  It's primal.  When all else won't satisfy, it's mom, and if that doesn't work, well . . .
