I love this picture of my dad. It's not the first time I have seen him laugh, but it is an occurrence I can probably count on one hand. My dad does not just let go and have a good hearty gut busting laugh. He chuckles and smiles but never a leg slappin', pee your pants kind of laugh. We were camping with them and Dustin and Chris' family and they happened to be playing Rook. I love taking out my camera and snapping pictures of everyone having fun and being themselves. Those kind of pictures capture the true essence of our lives, our very souls in fact. Posing is a conscious act. Candid photos capture us as our "real" selves. For all my dad's supposed gruffness, this is what is truly underneath. This picture will forever be stamped in my heart. I'll never forget the way he looks here.
