For the last two years i have missed my Mom's birthday as well as most other holidays and special occasions. So this year instead of taking another internship in new city in a new state, i made the decision to come back to my hometown of Knoxville, Tn and spend the summer with my family. It was a really hard decision, and i wasnt sure it was the right one for quite a while. I think it was so ingrained into my heard that if i didnt get an internship somehow i would be failing. It took some time to realize that doing something different might be what i need. I guess i ll know at the end of the summer. I wont be taking a break completely from photography though. I was offered the newly created summer intern position at the Knoxville News Sentinel after a friend of mine, Joe Howell left to get married and start his freelance career in Nashville. So, i am looking forward to spending a great summer with my family and catching up on some moments that i might have been missing. Like this one. Happy birthday Mom.

good choice buddy she looks very happy and I hope you are too..
for what its worth, I think you made the right decision. good luck in knoxville, sounds like you came out on top getting an internship in your home town.
the awwwww factor in this is huge!
that's what i did last summer. i had basically been gone for two years and figured i would see my family before my brother went off to college. i turned out to be the right choice for me, even though i wasn't lucky enough to have any photo opportunities while i was home.
kohl please send me your correct address so i can re-send this package..it came back to our packages plus listed wrong address...sorry about the delay..i will get it right out...kim jagoe
Oh good one, putting moms picture up so she loves you more, yeah well I made the cake!Just kidding, I am very proud of my big bro and all you have done, you are a very big inspiration to me.
