shelly norton the photographer

Photo by Richie's Momma, Shelly.

Here's a little story that doesn't start with once upon a time because
I've always loved photography.
Since I was a kid.
It was a biological inclination.
My Dad loved it. . .
and since I was genetically engineered to be exactly like him,
I loved it too.
Then along came Shelly
and she made me love it in a whole new way.
Shell has a natural talent for photojournalism
that is just, well, remarkable,
and an amazing eye for nature work
(evidenced above)
that she obviously passed on to her daughter Heather.
I love photography.
I love Shelly.

the end.

Dear DEAR Natty!
What a wonderful surprise! This touched me beyond words. I'm grateful.
And, ironically, this photo was taken this weekend as I hurriedly rolled down the window of the car, and as I felt the rush of cold air and raindrops I felt an OVERWHELMING rush of GRATITUDE for my world. And you are one of the most important pieces of my world. Thank you. I love you!
