What My Eyes See and What Photos Don’t Show – Take 5

March 28, 2013

Photography is a big part of this blog, and of my life. I don’t claim to be an expert, by any means, but I do what I can to show the world that life with two children with special needs – cerebral palsy and Down syndrome – is beautiful, special, and, yes, rather ordinary. At [...]
