MY NANA & PAPA

This is my Nana.

If you've ever met her then you probably recognize this view, and if you're like me, you absolutely love it.

You can find her standing behind her camera at all family functions and when we joke that it's time to upgrade to digital, she explains that her film Canon is the only reason any of us ever see printed photos from our family adventures (...and I hate to admit it, but she's right).

I joke that it's also time for her and my Papa to get a computer, internet, and a cell phone...but they aren't quite ready to join the 21st century (and the truth is, I really don't blame them).

and this is my Papa.
He taught me how to shoot a gun, drive manual and secretly loves me more than the rest of his grandkids (ok, that might not be true...or is it?).

MANAL, MEGHAN & THEIR PORCH.

Manal & I shared an apartment for three years.

With some help from our living room lighting, our favorite spot to drink tea and talk about our day was our patio.

Before we moved out, we had one last late night tea party which we documented with a roll of Ilford Delta 3200 film. 

These were my two favorites.

RIP CAPTAIN

Last week we lost our 14 year old black grey lab, Captain.  

(I say we even though he wasn't technically my dog...but it sure felt like he was)

I've never had a dog, so he was as close as I've come to a furry, four legged companion. 

I certainly was not expecting the quietness that has come with his passing. 

The house still feels a bit empty without him lying down next to us in whatever room we're in. 

We miss you, Cappy
