my brother, my best friend, their boys

this is alden and jonathan.  i got to spend some brief yet quality time with them in portland, oregon.  

i'm not sure how i managed to get so many pictures of alden without his new tron lightcycles.  he got two for christmas and you'd think that would be one too many, but you'd be seriously wrong.  

this is colleen and elliot, two beautiful portland babes.    

thanks

happy thanksgiving, everybody!

one of my favorite photography blogs is aline smithson's Lenscratch.  in honor of the holiday, she is featuring submissions from her readers with Family as the theme.  there are so many great images from all over the world.  my contribution looks a bit cynical next to cuddling children, kittens, and family gatherings, but this can't really come as a surprise.  perhaps i should make a point of taking more uplifting, hopeful pictures in the new year...or not.
