And the visual is fabulous! I can't even express the joy these photos exude! They truly capture the friendship of my son and one of his closest friends, roller skating around our community. When Noah told me that a photographer from the NY Times approached him while he was skating downtown in our college city, I was skeptical to say the least. That was back in October, and since then, Jacob has been photographing Noah and his friends, and now he's a part of their social circle! His talent for photography is amazing. It's best viewed on a full screen as some of the photos are cut off when viewing on your phone. I was hesitant to read the comments until this morning, because you just never know how people will react the things like this, but I was blown away by the positivity and encouraging words. I hope you all enjoy this even half as much as I have! The Secret to Having the Best Summer Ever |

Gorgeous photos and a wonderful story! Those are just what I needed to start my week. So much sad news over the weekend and seeing those photos and reading the story reminded me that there still are uplifting, positive things in the world. Thank you for sharing!
