The Photo Book of Momley

For my 50^th birthday, the boys gathered my photos from the very first, taken at 3 months old, in a studio, to the most recent. They sorted through several hundreds of photos, both printed and digital, and created a photo book. I am still not sure of the criteria they used. Apparently, for ASid, I had to look ‘good’ in a photo for it to make it to the final cut! So, some family and friends are missing from the book. And some others, who have no significance in my life, have made it into the book!

Hans took the entire blame. Perhaps I was unnecessarily harsh with my critique.

Hans was born when I was almost 34. He tried to make sense of unknown faces, from my past, with some help from my parents. It was an excellent effort. The boys and my parents spent several hours. It took a while to scan the prints. However, Hans was the one who was left with the task of ensuring the book was ready. So, he felt personally responsible!

And here I am, trying to gather moments from our collective lives and preserve them for future. I wonder how Hans would critique my efforts?!

Note: On his 22^nd birthday, I informed ASid about this blog. Almost a year later, he hasn’t said anything about it!

Another note: If memory serves me well, this is the first time I have blogged twice in one day.
