Family is everything. It's why we live, breathe, eat, exist....... And nothing's better than discovering someone in yours has real, true talent.

   My 19 y/o daughter is an amazing kid: sweet, pretty, smart, savvy, but she's struggled her whole life to really find herself. I've raised her completely alone from infancy, and she's had no relations with her mother, at all, since she was 8. So the struggle was understandable. She had me as her father and no mother. Imagine...

   She's always had a "nose" for knowing what's coming years before it arrives. Music, fashion, trends...even at 10 she was ahead of the curve, and has a great eye for the visual. To that end, she's recently taken up photography as an outlet, going so far as majoring in it at college. And, man, has she hit her stride and found her life's calling. It is a remarkable thing to see. She's now got a lab in her apartment and the entire process seems to really fit her perfectly as the latest crop of pics, shot for her "final" this semester, are truly spectacular. I was so filled with wonderment, pride and glee when I saw them I was speechless. Me...

   For me, it really put a cool new spin on watching Chelsea develop.....and I couldn't be happier.
