Fairy Tale Dreams

I have this dream... this weird dream - that one day someone other than my brother and sister-in-law will let me, heck - dare I say even ask me - to take pictures of their kids. And/or (entire) family... the more the merrier. In this fairy tale, I'm confident of my abilities and knowledge of my camera and (get this) my gracious friends are actually excited to get their proofs back knowing at least one good shot will emerge. Hey, it's my dream... anything can happen.

'Course I'm a pretty realistic person... even in my imagination I'm not cashing checks from these activities, I'm certainly no professional. Fairly simply, I'm happiest in my dream when I can just get the picture I want, when I want it... and give friends and family the same service.

This dream, surely not unique in its generality, is the culmination of me figuring out that I love taking pictures - so subjects beware, I go no where without a camera these days, practice makes perfect, after all! The optimistic part of me keeps the dream alive... and along the way, I just hope that sometime I'll luck out and capture a moment, just how it happened.
