I love this theme, I love the idea of the project containing a phrase! Mostly though, I love how thoughtful and reflective I've become over my photographs and photography, through the Thematic Photographic project.
My boy, Hayden, spent a good many hours invested in gaming. In years past, he's focused on World of Warcraft (this mantle has been passed to Scotty and his Amazing Snarf), this year was his XBox 360, the HALO franchise, and many many other games he's tested and beaten or discarded. His friends have been those he can gather with locally (for gaming, strategizing, or creating art on controllers/consoles or from cardstock) or those whom gather each evening on XBox Live (HeyHay98) to eradicate the common enemy. He's taken me down paths with twists and turns I've never anticipated and for which I shall be eternally grateful. Supporting (and accepting the lack of full understanding on my part) his gaming as a valid and worthy investment of his time, energy and other resources, has been a gift that continues to give to the both of us. daily.
Though the houses have changed and the boy has aged,
2009 ends much as it began: controller-in-hand, smile-on-face.

I can totally relate. Adeline's world is full of gaming. She spends much of her time on the Wii or her DS and sometimes a virtual world or two on the computer. When she's not figuring it out through playing it, she's busy scouring the internet for videos and the comments of tips, cheats, hacks, and whatever else that relates to that particular game. Its a road I never would have travelled myself but its been fun sightseeing with her as my guide.
