Have you called your sister lately?

I was recently boasting about my sister to some friends... I say boasting, as perhaps that how it may have sounded. I was actually gushing. I'm as proud of my sister as I think anyone can be about a sibling.

She beat me up constantly until I was about 13 years old, she went off to University when I was 16, studied Kineseolgy, after graduation spent 6 month in a hospital and promptly up and quit...

She fell in love with photography, took a Photo Journalism course at our local Community College, immediately got picked up by the Toronto Star as a staff photgrapher, quit that, later got picked up by the Globe and Mail... she's quit that as well and now focuses entirely on her own projects.

She's won an Attkinsons Fellowship and a Canadian Press Award. I will not drone on with one of my usually tediously self absorbed, long and winding rambling posts. I've quickly grabbed the ten pictures from her site that struck me the most...

Oh, and I should point out that she's done all this while raising two kids, subjecting herself to the usual stresses of buying and house and building a home AND while being married to my adorably crazy Irish Brother in Law.

This is how my Sister sees the world:
