Eight-year-old Anders came to me determined not to break a smile; his front two teeth were wiggly and hanging, forced from behind by their adult replacements. Finally, toward the end, with some help from Dad, I got him to break.![]()

I had a hard time believing him, as polite and easy to work with as he is.![]()

My son has been working very hard to earn his green belt in Tae Kwon Do. The deal we made early on was that I wouldn’t torture him with my camera every belt along the way, but instead would simply snap here and there with my iPhone and G11 when he wasn’t looking. In exchange, when he earns his green belt, he’ll stand for a couple of frames in-studio, no big deal.

Kendall wanted some fun pictures to enclose in her graduation announcement, and it just worked out that her session was exactly 22 years to the date that I graduated from high school. Twenty-two years! I remember that day as if it were yesterday. Although, looking back, it still feels like high school took four decades for me to get through — well, except for algebra and the day we had to cut up frogs in biology (thank you, Bill Barry, for stealthily cutting mine for me without getting caught!), those seemed more like a lifetime.
Each decade since then seems more like one long week.![]()
Best of luck to you, Kendall …
