I may have taken this picture.

Mom and Grandma are looking down slightly, at the level of someone my size at the time, and the camera angle is slightly upwards. Michael is attending elsewhere, as usual. I’m pretty sure I wasn’t trying to make Grandma look like a million bucks, but I certain didn’t mean to make her look like a buck at hunting season, either. I would have remembered that.

I can’t say the same for the picture below. I knew exactly what I was doing, although I don’t remember why. What was I thinking? I don’t remember being angry. Did my frustration overtake me? I did realize that it was a cheap shot. I suppose I was just being mean; certainly disrespectful. If someone else took that picture of Michael, I’d be very angry.

If Michael could appreciate this picture, I would expect him to beat the crap out of me. I’d never do it again.
