Perspective

Dear blog readers,
I don’t often post here since Anna is the much better writer of the two of us, but on this I thought I would chime in.  As the designer and administrator annamayer.com, part of my job is to make sure that the design, content, and features of the website are current, relevant, intuitive, and functional.  Blog readers catch a glimpse of Anna’s life through her beautiful photos and colorful writing style, but as I have perused the content, I have found some content lacking–my perspective.  Some of you give her props in your comments to various posts, and there is some in long-form on the testimonial page, but I wanted to do something a little different.  She writes, shoots, and edits just about everything you see here, but what you do not see, I see.

I see a late night editor who chose to take her Lydie-bug and cousin Natalie to the beach during the day.
I see a story teller telling stories of when she was little to a boy who hangs on every word.
I see a compassion-filled teen mom who took the road less travelled . . . and wants to mentor those who come behind.
I see a communicator asking deep questions of her teen-age son.
I see a painter who had traded her watercolor and canvas for latex and the walls in her girls’ bedroom.
I see a reader who still reads to her nine year old . . . nightly.
I see a relentless innovator who is constantly persuing new ways to capture children.
I see a master scheduler who always figures out a way to get it done.
I see a visionary making plans in our new home.
I see a giver of time that she doesn’t really have.
I see a peacemaker.
I see a successful entrepreneur . . . three times over.
I see a business partner and teammate.
I see a friend and lover.
I see a mother of my kids.
I see a soul-mate.
I see my wife.

-Brian
