I've been away from this website for a while. Life has thrown me some curveballs the past few months and I am only now getting my feet back under me.
In March I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. Although I had been undergoing a myriad of tests, the reality was - and is - quite jarring. Right now we are in a 'wait and see' mode. I have joined a Parkinson's-specific boxing program called Rock Steady Boxing at their Southlake affiliate.to work on hand/eye and balance. And a lot of fitness! Keeping active is one of the best things I can do for myself.
In April, my mother died. She was 92. While this was not unexpected, it was still hard. I did have the opportunity to see her before she passed.
Here is what I want to talk to you about. This picture was taken in December, before we knew what was awaiting us. But I knew, at 92, we were going to need a current picture. I was able to provide my siblings with this portrait as a keepsake, and made a large print for her memorial service.
How valuable is this? Kim and I want to urge you to update your photos of your loved one, especially your parent. You cannot create a large print from a cellphone image. How many times have you seen what looks like a high school picture from 1955 used for a memorial service?
I'm not wanting to sound ghoulish. One of the most valuable things we can do as photographers is to preserve memories. This may be of your parents, or even of your children at different stages of their young lives.
We can do that for you, we want to do that for you. Call me, and let's talk.
