My mother passed away on June 19th. It was a very sudden and unexpected loss that has completely devastated my family. Most days, we are all still so shocked that I don't think it really sinks in. On other days, I hold tight to my pictures and memories of her.
I've always been this idiot that wandered around taking pictures of things that looked interesting, buildings, textures, colors, sculptures, etc. I remember people always saying "[Someone] go stand over there next to that" so that I would have a person in the picture too, and I thought... why? Pictures with people are pictures with people... but this thing right here... it's unusual!
I have been a fool.
Give me an old, poorly shot picture of my mom and I will give you my hard-drive full of thousands of pictures that all seem like trash now.
These are the last pictures I have, from a trip in May to her favorite fishing town - Rockport.
I miss you, Mom.
