A Back Yard Family Get Together Was My "Kodak Moment"
This photo was taken in the summer of 1998 at a family get together at my house in Prospect Heights, Illinois. The day was warm with few clouds in the sky. Which worked out great for everyone because of the busy lives we all lead it’s not always easy getting family together and when it happens that the stars align and you’re living right, schedules sync and the family gets together…it works out even better when mother nature cooperates.
I have a trunk load of old photos that might have been more touching and personal, but I chose this one because it reminded me of when I was the age of my nephew’s and niece’s with no responsibility and the world was a huge playground. All sorts of new experiences, playing hard taking a breather then back at it playing harder than before. There were spills, scrapes and bruises the occasional spat that quickly got worked out, bikes to ride, firecrackers to light and trees to climb, snakes and frogs to catch and bee’s to be stung by…It was all ahead of me as it’s all ahead them in this photo. This was one of those rare moments when we could corral them into one spot for about 30 seconds. This is my “ Kodak Moment” that I like to remember.
