today is my niece Rome’s birthday. and it is my sister’s birthing-day. she gave birth to little Rome-a-loo one year ago today. so, congrats to her and hooray, our clan gets larger.

i am working on a family oral history project where i interview mother-daughter pairs to get their reflections, ideas, ad memories on what it has been like to be a woman. my brother josiah has been helping my capture these stories on film. we spent two days over the weekend filming; what an awesome help he has been. thanks to him, i was able to focus on asking the right questions and being really present in the interviews. i have found out some pretty awesome, inspiring, saddening, and interesting things.

on top of the oral histories that my female family members have shared, they have also given me old family photos which i am in the process of scanning. they are all available on my flickr account.

this project has a long way to go, but i am excited as to what it will turn in to.
