Art Director in flight>>>.

One of the things I love about my little brother Jeremy is his enthusiasm for little things; an interest in finding tiny opportunities to make a memory.

"Hey, will you take a picture of me jumping over the bench while they're watching me with amazement?"*

So this is his vision. Credit him for art direction; me for keeping it somewhat in focus as the sun slinked behind the trees and said goodbye forever to Christmas 2013.

*I have put quotation marks around this statement, but in actuality, it is my memory of what he said, and probably not verbatim. I do not apologise.
