Self protrait
He wasn't soft and pink
with a fat little tummy;
he was hard and hollow,
a little boy mummy.
"Tell us, please, Doctor,
the reason or cause,
why our gundle of joy
is just a bundle of gauze."
"My diagnosis," he said
"for better or worse,
is that your son is the result
of an old pharoah's curse."

ntens. This pokot boy gave me the most intens look. I had a feeling it was because he wanted to look like a strong man on the picture... because afterwards he was just super friendly

Even if I'm not used to take pictures from children, I couldn't resist. This is my first baby portrait

Stick Boy is just one of the many names that runs off my tongue when I talk to Sammy. A few others are Wiggle Boy, Mr. Sammy, Sammy Boy, Little Samster, Scammy, and Mr. Stinky.

This statue hangs precariously over a valley ravine. Supposedly it symbolizes courage and is the artist's son depicted.
I have not read this book yet. It is heavy material and I have to be in the right mood to read something like this. I have dealt with people in my past that have had addictions and have attended Al-Anon meetings, so I know what it is like to go through an ordeal like this.
Here is what the inside of the cover said, author is David Sheff:
"When Nic was growing up, I thought I would be content with whatever choices he made in his life... Now I live with the knowledge that, never mind the most modest definition of a normal or healthy life, my son may not make it to twenty-one."
What had happened to my beauiful boy? To our family? What did I do wrong? Those are the wrenching questions that haunted every moment of David Sheff's harrowing journey through his son Nic's addiction to drugs and tentative steps toward recovery. Beautiful Boy is a fiercely candid memoir that brings immediacy to the emotional rollercoaster of loving a child who seems beyond help. Before Nic Sheff became addicted t crystal meth, he was a charming boy, joyous and funny, a varsity athlete and honor student adored by his two younger siblings. After meth, he was a trembling wraith who lied repeatedly, stole money from his eight-year-old brother, and lived on the streets. David Sheff traces the first subtle warning signs: the denial, the three A.M. phone calls (is it Nic? the police? the hospital?), the rehabs. His preoccupation with Nic became an addiction in itself, and the obsessive worry and stress took a tremendous toll. But as a journalist, he instinctively researched every avenue of treatment that might save his son and refused to give up on Nic. Beautiful Boy grew out of an article in the New York Times Magazine that drew an overwhelming response from readers grateful that Sheff had finally given voice to the devestating experience they shared. As the psychologist Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia, said in praise of Beautiful Boy, "When one of us tells the truth, he makes it easier for all of us to open our hearts to our pain and that of others."

My daughters' elementary school had a big outdoor ice cream social and they volunteered me to the principal to take yearbook photos. How could I say no(on 2 hours notice) since it is a chance to build up the old portfolio? The lighting was a horrible challenge because the sun was already setting at 6PM when it started, but I messed about with my ISO and my flash and got some things to work. The fire department was there with the ladder truck giving ladder rides - I would have loved to go up and take pics down but it I couldn't bring myself to take up a little kid's place in line! Kids could also explore a police car and a number of city officials were there as many of their children go to this public school(for you Brits, I think you call it a private school - it is run by the local government). The DJ spun music all evening and the free ice cream and hot fudge were flowing!
Day 236 of 365 - No More Pictures
My nephew, Josh, was visiting this evening while his mom was in class. I took the opportunity to shoot him for my photo of the day. Though after taking this I was informed 'I don't Like to have my picture taken uncle Jeff.' I asked him why and he said 'I just don't' so this is the one I am posting. I think his expression matches his words pretty closely.
