The Next Year
Relatively speaking, of course.
Somewhere around 12 or 13 she began rebelling against the camera in a big way, I’ve got over a thousand pics from the first dozen or so years, only a couple hundred in the decade since. I don’t have any kind of weird longing for her to be a kid again, and looking back at these doesn’t make me want another or anything, but I get a kick out of it. She was a cute kid, and I remember shooting most of the footage. Those were some generally good days.
One of my favorite moments in all the vids (only gonna post a few of them here) was in the previous post. She lays a handful of papers out on the floor, then you can see her stumbling through and working out how to write left-handed. I’m glad I caught that little scene.
