All from\u00a0Where We Live, Photographs of America from the Berman Collection<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

So much of what I’ve been stuck on lately has been internet-based. I took a break the other day to enjoy this book<\/a>\u00a0which I adore, and includes several of my father’s photographs among others that I find so inspiring. When I come across my father’s work, I often feel a pang of sadness that he could not continue to do what he loved so much… as childish as this may read: it doesn’t seem\u00a0fair\u00a0<\/em>that his time here on earth was cut so short. Especially as I grow older and closer to his age when he died. I am 33. He was just shy of 43. To imagine only having 10 more years left is just mind-numbing. I am grateful for the time we had him. I am grateful for so much in my life. Grateful also for the inspiration I still feel from my father and his whole body of work.<\/p>\n

As Emil napped and the big boys were at preschool, I sat by the big window on our landing as giant snowflakes fell and dreamed of spring.<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful weekend, and I hope that inspiration finds you.<\/p>\n

P.S.- Find more of my father’s work here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
