"I am a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me."

Source: Private/Mom's scrapbook So that post I was excited about? Well here it is. I'm pretty much keeper of my family's old photos. As a photographer I tend to get the responsibility, not that I mind. I actually really enjoy looking through them and planning archival projects. These photos are part of our family collection. This is my mother in the 80's. I got her permission and I'm super thrilled because I think she's incredibly inspiring. In high school she got a mohawk (as seen in the first photo), pierced her nose in a mall bathroom and made most of her own clothing. In general, I think she's inspiring because-well, she's gorgeous. Though she might disagree I've always been adamant that my mom is beautiful. I wanted to share these all with you because I get so much inspiration at looking at these photos. I do wish I had been able to find a better photo of her mohawk but I've included the first one anyway. Needless to say, I'd really appreciate it if these photos remained on my blog. - Title quote, "Phenomenal Woman," Maya Angelou
