I got so busy last week with everything going on, I MISSED last week! That is just simply not acceptable….so this week, I’m doing it early. 😉
This week I chose a photo of my 2 older boys. Brothers, friends, enemies, roommates, secret-keepers, secret-tellers, competitors, and everything else that boyhood brothers can be. They are not always bestfriends, they are not always enemies. They play together and entertain each other.
I took this in the middle of a rousing game of Monopoloy.
(And yes, they are playing around, not really fighting. 😉 )
This photo was taken last month of my dear husband saying his last goodbyes to his friend.
Now, head over to iHeartfaces and see how the rest of the photographers interpreted “My friend & I”!
From chaos to Grace... 
your pix are amazing! so sorry for the loss of your husbands friend…I wanted to welcome you to blog oklahoma network-they tweeted your blog
oh… I’m crying now… (I’m always crying these days)
I’m so sorry your husband lost his friend. 😦 I lost my friend too (and that is my photo for this week)
Thank you for sharing your photos, and so raw with emotion, so REAL. those are the kind of photos I like best.
Your pictures are great! I love the first one and the second one was very touching.
See, my entry made you laugh and yours made me cry! What a beautiful photo of your husband and his friend -so moving! Sometimes pictures really can say the things that words cannot.
your pictures are great! I love the faces in the first one and the sadness you see in the second one is so touching. thanks for sharing.
oh that was quite a touching photo – and the boys – too cute
Absolutely beautiful photos. I think they are my fav’s in both categories so far. I love the way you pulled at my emotions.
I really like your creative interpretation of this week’s theme! The board game shot is really cool.
Really like your photos. Unique, interesting, touching, and the kids one is also pretty darn funny!
I just love the picture of your boys- you totally captured the spirit of the moment!
Wow… two totally different pictures! The first one just makes me laugh.. those boys are comptetive in the way that only brothers can be. It’s a great capture of a very real moment. Second picture? Breathtaking and heartbreaking at the same time. We’re all going to be at that point with our friends, whether we’re the one standing or the one laying down. Your husband’s face brings a lump to my throat… and makes me realize just how much I love my friends. As always, beautiful work, Dana….
That boys picture is awesome. It really captures the essence of a boy, and what friendship is about for a boy. Love it.
Love the focus and processing on the first. What a fun moment to capture. And the sadness in the second is very palpable… great job!
Dana, I am leaving town tomorrow for my husband’s surgery. Have a wonderful Easter and may God bless you in all your endeavours!
Your kids entry is great! I love your focus…such and interesting shot! And, I’m so sorry to hear of your husband’s loss!!!
That looks like a violent way to play monopoly! But fun. Nice composition.
Lovely adult entry. Evokes strong emotion.
Both photos are lovely and very emotional. Nice contrast in your entries. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my goodness. Two totally different moods evoked in each picture. I love the rousing game of monopoly. Who knew that game could be so much fun? 🙂
The photo of your husband is so moving.
What beautiful photos. Your adult entry is so moving. The kids are adorable.
What special pictures. I love your boys’ photo. I long for photos such as those, brothers are a remarkable thing. With the loss of my oldest boy, that’s one of the things I long most for (my little one to have his big brother). Now, onto the photo, I remember the boot, the car, the dog, the top hat, etc…I don’t remember strong man in Monopoly! I guess it’s be a while. 😉 Thank you for sharing such special shots!
I tried to leave a comment on this about 3.6 million times and gave up. Hopefully this one comes through…
Girl, you know how to take a picture.
That first one is PRICELESS and shows that awesome friend/opponent/brother relationship.
That second one just makes you STOP and think. And inspires gratefulness.
Thank you Dana.
Both of these photos are amazing and share a wonderful perspective… what a unigue view you have… I am blessed that I got to see it!
Beautiful pictures-realy, rally well done!
God bless-
Amanda
