NaBloPoMo Daily Mitzvah: Today I sent an e-card from Hallmark.com to my sister just to say hi. We live far apart and don’t get to talk that often so I just wanted to send her a little something to brighten her day and let her know I’m thinking about her.
Sara is my sister. 7 years younger than I am and a senior in college this year. I must admit I’m a bit jealous. I miss my college days more than anything! Sara is totally loving life right now. And, she has plans for next year after the big graduation which is a sigh of relief for her (and the rest of my family I am sure!). Planning out her life after graduation was a true cause for celebration. So while visiting my family for Thanksgiving I took her out for her own private senior session. And we had a blast!
Since we had time to shoot over multiple days and in multiple locations we were able to do a lot of experimentation. I don’t think she realizes how much I learned about my camera, shooting in manual, and thinking creatively just from this one opportunity. And I must say I am personally quite pleased with the results. I hope she is too!
When my sister graduates in May she’ll be leaving college with a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology (just like her big sis, awwwww). But her true love is golf. And man is she good. Real good. She’s been playing since she was basically old enough to hold a golf club. It’s been amazing to see her grow her craft throughout the years and take off with it. I hope she realizes how proud we all are of her for having such drive, determination and passion.
Watch out Tiger Woods, here comes Sara Hurwitch!
