I caught this on the anthropologist and it has to be one of the nicest uses of multi-media storytelling I’ve seen: photography, writing, print/typography & film…by photographer David Eustace about his road trip with 16 year old daughter Rachel.

At 2:07am on the 9th of October 1992 my life changed forever. My daughter Rachael was born.

Now 16 years later I fully appreciate the words of the late Lebanese philosopher and poet Khahil Gibran who wisely wrote in his poem “Speak to us of Children”. “Your children are not your children they are lives longing for itself”.

What follows is a journal, document, snapshots of these few special weeks we spent together discovering a little more of each other.”

It’s valentine’s day tomorrow, but I’m more excited that it’s also Chinese New Year, and for me this year, the start of my 2010 (seeing as Jan 1st snuck up a weeeee bit fast).

So as I / we enter into a new year of sorts, I thought I’d share a story that never ceases to pull the heart-strings…
and wish you a loving joyful happy satisfying entry into this new new year of 2010. It feels like a good year.
