About Rockstars...

My favorite performer and rockstar is Madonna.  First time I saw her on stage in 1992 she took me on a ride assaulting each one of my senses. Consequently I became a fan. I have now seen her perform in 3 countries in over 5 cities.  Last night was Mia's turn to rock and roll and cheer for her Rockstar...

Last night's was the Barney Show. I hate to admit I did not want to go see Barney live.
I was hesitant and quite cynical about the purple dinosaur.  All my cynicism and jaded attitude quickly disappeared...  Watching my 16 month old baby rock to Barney and dance like she never had before was priceless. Screaming as if she was watching the Stones live and because there were no rules and the other fans were just as encouraging she partook in a collective phenomena for a moment in time ...

A few tears were shed as soon as I realized what I was watching. I was a witness to the wild, passionate, fun soul that resides within her. I saw the person not my baby... The being that lives within her. Her spirit, her nature and her soul are much bigger and greater than her height... I was a witness and made into a believer. I did not take that many pictures...

I am realizing as well that when I am fully present engulfed with the moment watching it all unfold I, no longer an observant but an active and reactive being involved in living life. I become the picture not the documentary maker. No longer documenting with my camera I become the image...
The more involved I become the less images I take with my camera. The more fun I have the less visual proof I have of the events.

Not sure if it was the lights... the music... the rhymes or the beats... but I fell in love with my little girl... once again.

It's the weekend...
The temperatures are dropping quickly and tomorrow night I am taking pictures for the local paper for an event. I am excited at the possibilities and wishing you nothing but the best...

  3. I haven't been here in a while. I can't believe how big Mia is. I know what you mean about seeing that soul in your baby. I am really starting to see it come out in Rowan. He's becoming his own person more and more every day, and making my love for him grow more and more every day.

  4. Beautiful pictures of you and your family. Mia was really mesmerized in that picture! All her attention was focussed on the stage. Have a good week.
