I would like to say a big Happy 35th Anniversary to John and Cynthia Wilson. They are not only my loving parents but they are my constant support system and I feel so lucky to have been blessed with them. Without their love and support I would never have had the guts to go to Art school and dedicate myself to photography and my love of all things art. They continually let me be who I was going to be trusting in their parenting skills and God to make sure I turned out all right. I remember many sighs as I started to dye my hair funky bright colors beginning in eight grade and continuing through my first few years at college, or the many times I painted giant murals on my bedroom walls. They never tried to hold me back or re-direct me towards something more ‘practical’ and for that I am so thankful.
All that said, I have been fortunate enough to spend a good portion of the past week and a half with them as they rent a beach house here in Oxnard.
I would have liked to been able to post this Anniversary post to them, ya know, on their Anniversary last week but we have been pretty internet-less (?) here on the beach so I decided to actually spend the time with them instead of just writing about how great they are (and they are great).
I had the pleasure of taking their Anniversary photos right in front of the house on the beach.
I will post a few more within the next week or so.
