The month of the Dino


That’s right, it’s back!

30 days 30 photos did so well that when I was asked by a handful of people if I was continuing the series I said “sure am!” I’m doing things a little differently this time though, I will still be doing the blog informing you about life, sunshine, my roller coaster, ideas and inspiration that surrounds me but also you will be following my little buddy! For the month of Oct I will be adventuring and living an everyday life of LoHo right along with my little guy who will be in all my mini POLAROID photos!

As a little kid my dad was one of my guiding forces. I always looked up to him and wanted to be surrounded by him because I thought he was the greatest thing on earth, right next to my mom. He spent the day in the city at the top of a big office building, traveling all over to far off lands at times... I had no real idea what he did but in my head I thought he was a king, 007, Superman or a Jedi Knight... don’t get me wrong I knew he came home in a suit but I couldn’t help but think of him as the majestic figure I had made him to be.

When I was 6 or 7 I remember coming up to him one day and giving him my little translucent lime green patasaurus dinosaur and told him to keep it in his pocket so I could always be with him and as my little brother watched me hand over my toy he had to get in on the action handing my dad an orange taradactle telling him “every time you stick your hand in your pocket you will remember us” and sure enough my dad said he carried those little guys in his pocket for almost a year through buisness meetings and everyday endeavors before they went on the never ending adventure at the dry cleaners. I know objects are just objects but they can also remind us of people and moments that make our world.

All in all, I hope you all enjoy the next month as I continue my adventure.
Forever Young, Forever Adventurous, Forever Yours.
