We plan on taking Kai trick or treating twice today. U of R this afternoon. Hanover, in the Fan, this evening.
This morning my four year old son, Kai,said “I’m a sculpture that makes sound.” Out of the blue. Where did it come from?

Because I’m not going to get anywhere by just taking photos and uploading them to Tumblr…I wish it were that easy. I’m at least attempting to send in my photos/photo essays to magazines to try and make something happen for myself.
