Friendship: In Black and White

You know that good friend you've had since high school... that you don't get to see very often... but when you do... it's as if it's only been a day or two since you last hung out? That's my friend Tam. We first met in Mr. Crew's 9th grade geometry class and became friends over isosceles triangles and pythagorous' theorem. By our sophomore and junior year, we had each other's back when it came to tangents and cosines, imaginary numbers and solving for 'x' in algebra and pre-cal.

In my 'early days' of shooting film, Tam was kind enough to let me shoot her with my old Pentax K1000 (which I still have!)  in my parents' basement with bed sheets staple gunned to the ceiling (sorry Dad!).

Now, more than 10 years later... Tam, her husband Loren and their two girls Evie & Lyla currently live in San Francisco... where Emir and I just happen to be at this very moment!

Long over due for an updated version of the photos I shot of Evie when she was first born.... I was eager to give Tam some new images to make her smile until my next visit. Here are a few of my faves...
