My daughter bringing me luck...getting published

[Liz]

That's terrific news, Loren. I'm glad your daughter has brought you so much good luck. She will always be a source of "new life" and happiness for you. It's amazing when we love someone how our lives change in so many ways.....always for the better.

It sounds like you're back into the photography groove. I hope you can share some samples of your work with us.

Way to go Loren, it's nice to get back on the horse again. My daughter is 11 and a half and only has 5 more days of summer camp in Maine. I honestly can't wait till she gets back home. I've written to her more this camp than I have to anyone collectively in my 48 years on this planet so far. I have had a chance to get some portrait jobs by word of mouth after people have seen my shots of my daughter. You lose a little personal time becoming a parent, and end up getting it back later.

Hello fellow Samuarai...

Thanks..I think what you said about personal time is very true. I also see things differently and that can always help too.

She's only 4 months old, but boy is she growing up fast. I better start taking more photos!!!

Hi Liz,

Thanks. It was pretty special to get the phone call, get paid, and to shoot wine area of Glen Ellen California.

I have to wait until the magazine comes out to post any of the shots, but they turned out well. My life has changed a lot, and the biggest challenge is time management. Otherwise, seeing my daughter smile at me every morning is worth everything.

She is very special...and she is now my inspiration.
