Turning 30 compelled me to stock up on anti-aging retinol night cremes. Two years later, turning 32 has primarily been an occasion for appreciating the awesomeness of many people in my life. With a visit from beloved friends and super-cool presents, it was easy to forget about wrinkles and back-aches.
My mother initially thought "Hasselblad" was the name of the beer garden where this photo was taken. 'Hasselblad' is actually the type of camera used to take these photos--a 1950s Sweedish camera lent to me by one of my landlords. Its awesome. ...the deep focus in these pictures...and the rich colors.... aaah.
I love both the first picture (of Chris & my father) and this picture of my mother. Below, Grandma Cortes and Anissa, from their visit up to Providence a few weeks ago.
