“Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what’s to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been, and look ahead to what would be. Other days. New days. Days to come. The thing is, we didn’t have to hate each other for getting older. We just had to forgive ourselves… for growing up.”
- The Wonder Years

This is Michael, who has just recently turned 13 years old. Isn’t this such an age of change? You’re not a little kid anymore but you’re still so far away of being a grown-up. I love this close-up that I got of him, you can see so much in those eyes.
We had a brief session last week and I will be sharing more soon.
