Fireflies
Some days I think of myself as the Flannery O'Connor of children's portraits. My pictures tend to lean toward the dark or solitary side. In my world of truths and half-truths, these small-fry inhabitants might be amiss or fallen from grace, but my children inhabit a peaceable kingdom where everything that falls deserves a chance to be restored. My children are beautiful, intelligent, sometimes sad, pensive, devastatingly perceptive, complex, occasionally humorous, always creative, and often inscrutable.
