Mimi One Year Ago
March 27, 2010 | Filed Under Personal, Polaroid | Leave a Comment
It was one year ago today that Mimi passed. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long. We now live in her old house and Big Daddy is with us here too. I told Big Daddy today that I think she’d be pretty happy to know our situation here.
We went by her grave today and I took these two polaroids to remember it. Above is her grave stone with her favorite color flowers. Mollie mentioned that right away when we got there. Below is Lola, one of Mimi’s great grandchildren. Lola got her first haircut today, and it kind of looks like childhood pictures of Mimi.
Big Daddy has been sharing some of Mimi’s journal writings with us. Yesterday he sent this quote:
“Love is seeking the highest good for others whether they deserve it or not. Therefore, Love is an action – not a passion. Marraige is not so much finding the right person as it is being the right person. The surest way to be fully loved is to love fully.”
- Elizabeth Gurganus
No doubt, Mimi fully loved and was fully loved in return. Today we remember her and are thankful again for her impact on our lives.

Ok…maybe not featured, but I made it in anyway. I have a photograph printed on p.171
It’s less than a 1/2 inch square, but hey, I’m just glad to be in. Thanks to Bryan Martin for pulling me in on this creation of his.
That little black square is a shot of the last Greenville Drive game of the 2008 season. Experience Happy in Greenville for yourself.

Today is my birthday. I’m 30 years old. I enjoyed a routine day and was thankful all day that I didn’t need anything special for my birthday. Thankful that each day I get to do basically all the things I like doing.
I woke up with a piece of music I was writing several months ago in my head. With an additional idea.
I spent time with my wife and kids.
I was served breakfast in bed.
I was pinched.
I bought a friend a cup of coffee.
I worked on a new collaborative project.
I was invited for lunch.
I received a cup of coffee from a friend.
I took some polaroid.
I got well wishing phone calls.
I bought a friend a book.
I was given a book.
I went to my favorite record store.
I was given an installment of Gardiner’s Bach Cantatas by the record store owner.
I picked out a string quartet and took it too.
I went to church.
I fixed a broken website for a friend.
I hugged on my kids and told them I was thankful they were mine.
I took self portraits to remember this day.

I shot my first wedding of this season back on February 4th. It was an held over at Twigs in their outdoor tent. Thankfully we had heat because it actually snowed that day. We were able to work around the conditions though and made some classic looking images.
Congrats to Dan & Jessica. Thank you guys for having me. I enjoyed documenting your day.
