My favorite photo is of my daughter, her best buddy Lucas and some other babies all in a row in one crib during a fire drill at their daycare. My daughter will be off to kindergarten in the fall, and she and Lucas will go to different schools. It's a reminder of a sweet time in their lives.

My current favorite photo is one of my four year-old son bungee bouncing on an attraction at an open air flea market in my neighborhood. We went last week and there was this apparatus and he actually did it! We were surprised since he'd always been scared of bouncy things/trampolines and such previously. I caught him way up in the air, with his mess of hair flying in every direction! It was great.

My favorite pic of the moment is a photo of my then 11 year old boy. It was taken on a cool, late winter day on the beach. He is facing the ocean with his back to the camera. I love it as he is captured mid-step and he looks so small against the backdrop of the breaking wave. He is wearing winter clothes and the sun is low in the sky. I see the boy but also a glimpse of the man he will be.
Thanks for a chance to win one of these cool prizes.

My favorite photo - that's a tough one. It would have to be a (very) old photo of me and my brother. He was still shorter than me at the time, and I've got a protective arm around him. This was well before the teenage fighting years, when any car trip reverberated to the sounds of "he's on my side...; he's touching me!"

I took a picture of my daughter and the other two bridesmaids at my sister's wedding. They are all gazing into a beautiful fountain. It had just finished drizzling and gave the picture a very surreal quality. It is not posed and that makes me love it.

My brother and his family were here this summer for a very infrequent visit from Indonesia. I now have a picture of my entire family which is extremely important to me because my mom is going to die soon. It means a lot to me that she was able to see my brother. it also means a lot that I have that last image of her and our entire family.
