age is relative, right?
I need to admit that I am feeling slightly old. Old, you say, how? Right, yeah. Let me start with explaining that I adhere to the hearsay that Brigham Young described unmarried men over the age of 25 as a menace to society.... or something like that
. I remember thinking that 25 was so old. In college me and the girls would tease each other about being interested in any guy over 25.. that it was slightly dangerous. Obviously, not really, but it was kind of funny, thinking that 25 was too old. I remember thinking that guys that were 25 were somehow supposed to be a little wiser, have their goals and desires for righteous life in line, etc.... well, being officially in "the quarter century club" myself for quite a while now, I guess I just feel strange about it, a little bit at least. I don't feel 18, and I don't really FEEL 25 either. In some ways, I guess I always thought I would accomplish more photographically by the time I was 25. I definitely was hoping to be involved in something like this great anthology, I have always wanted what I have. a wonderful husband, a darling and glorious child, i guess i'm just learning that there are too many things to photograph and do now in this other life I thought I'd have after 25. so, i think i want to photograph and talk to some other "club" members. Maybe Paris Geller (GG) is right, 60 is what 40 was 20 years ago... and with that logic, 25 is the new 18, and everyone knows that 18 year olds are having the time of their lives. If you are 25 and want to be photographed (freebie geeebie!), leave me a little comment-a-roo and we'll get this party started!

Man! I wish I was 25. I guess I'll just have to make the best of it until I get there. Will you photograph me for free in 3 years? When I'm 25?
Also, the site is looking snazzy!
