Happy New Year from Detroit.

Detroit's Christmas Tree, Campus Martius Park

Detroit, Michigan. 12.31.2011

This sticker literally made me laugh outloud. I found it right outside Campus Martius Park.

Detroit, Michigan 12.31.2011

On Christmas Eve Joey, my 5 year old cousin, asked if he could take pictures with my camera. Being the awesome cousin I am I said sure. He's a good kid and when you tell him to put the wrist strap on "like the wii" and to be careful he listens.

He disappeared for a while with it and when he returned it I found our future photographer had not only taken a picture of almost every Christmas decoration in the house but there was also this fabulous series of self portraits.

I think some nature walks with this little guy are in order this spring. I'm going to give him a camera and see what he comes up with.

Today, a friend told me to "stop once in a while, take a deep breath, and look at what you have".

He was right but I didn't know how right he was until I learned of the completely unexpected passing of a family friend.

His life was cut far too short and his kids, who are my age, lost their dad way too young.

Live for today.

Rest in peace Mark, you'll be missed by many.
