Just kidding what?

Photography. It's not about smiling children on a gradient backdrop. It's your kids (your teens, your family, yourselves, your pets) doing what you do when you're happy, and capturing that as a tangible memory.
I'm Shani, and I'd love to take your picture. Seriously.

Being 85

No seriously. I have two grandmothers who are 90 years old. AS healthy as can be expected and more lively than a lot of people I know. I love my grannies: Naomi and Freda. And I miss them too. Naomi actually learned how to use the computer, and could email, scan , attach and chat, but now, at age 90, her sight is not what it used to be..but enough about my grannies. Here’s a COUPLE, husband and wife of more than 50 years, and as in love as they were when they met, when Aaron was a life guard, and Esther a hot chick on the beach.   I was sent  by a local newspaper to photograph Aaron, 60 years after his glory days, to find  a man who at 85 years old, defies everything I thought I knew about that age, and though I swore to stretch every day, I forget. I start tomorrow! If staying thin isn’t insentive enough, let being alive be it! and lots of LOVE too.

so together after all these yearsThis could be "Bay Watch" the 50 year reunion.
