The Most Sacred Duty (continued)

A continuation of my ongoing project following several families as their children grow up. I call it "The Most Sacred Duty" because to have and raise members of the next generation is the most important thing any individual or couple can do to contribute to our people and society. This selection from the past year show moments before and after birth, of joy, of worry, and of character. They are moments that are familiar even though we may not know the people.

I graduated from Bucknell University with a major in English and a minor in Chemistry. I worked at Barnes & Noble for four years and currently pay the bills as a nuclear medicine technologist. The rest of my time is devoted to my various cats. My ultimate dream would be to go to Mars, but in the meantime I do this photography thing.
