Family

"I don't care how poor a man is; if he has family, he's rich. " -- Dan Wilcox and Thad Mumford

I typically don't post images like this, but this one has plenty of meaning to it and it is one of my recent favorites, so I thought I'd share.

I do take portraits here and there, mostly for friends that ask. Last Saturday we went to Santa Cruz to take pictures of this family that we're friends with during their family get together. I wanted to find a way to capture their relationship and how close they are, and this is what came out of it.

During these difficult economic and political times it's easy to focus on all the negative around us, but it's remembering what is truly valuable in life is what may help us keep the right perspective.
