My little girl Carin.

My little girl Carin was such a good girl this week.  On Tuesday she had several odontomasremoved from the left side of her mouth.  They are all because of the neurofibromatosis that she has.  (she got it from me) 

  Here is a picture of her trying to punch my crackberry before her surgery. 

 

 

Carin was so brave.  This was not just minor oral surgery.  They had to do this in an OR at Children's Hospital.

Carin has a couple more follow ups to make sure everything is healing ok.  (So far so good)

That is why I am donating 10% of all of my photography income to www.ctf.org

Happy Father's Day

I cannot believe that it this is my 10th time being a father on father's day!  My little girl Carin is just awesome.  She brings me such joy and happiness, it is not funny. 

I do feel a little sorry for her, she looks just like I did when I was younger.  I found an old picture of myself and I could not believe it. 

She is the reason why I am doing this photography gig.  My father worked at a job he could not stand and was miserable.  He lived 3 or so years after his retirement before he died.  (In his 60's)  I promised myself that I would not put myself in the same situation.

gallery show update

In June, when I have my gallery show, I plan on donating a portion of any print sales to the Children's Tumor Fund.  They are the leading not-for-profit dedicated to fighting neurofibromatosis.  This is genetic disorder that I have as well as my daugter.  (It also effects several other family members.)  In the mean time, all my images on exposure-manager will be eligible for that donation.
