I was asked to photograph my nephew Noah's first birthday party. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what pictures would be the most important and when he looks back at these what will he want to see, what will be important to him. I don't know that family members necessarily take the time to think like this, and I wonder if it made a difference. Tara, his mother, wanted me to photograph him destroying the cake, so I spent most of the time on that. I am so glad that I took two seconds to turn around and see the huge crowd that was watching him. I hope that he is pleased with my pictures and will look at them time and time again. (Will it even be in an album? I hope so, family albums are the greatest! Especially for significant others to stumble upon. Excuse my side note.)
