Stan's dear sister Linda advised him many years ago that whenever you are taking a picture, you should always have somebody that you know placed somewhere in it. It adds tons of interest. Stan had just returned from a North Dakota trip with a roll of tiny black and white pictures showing the barren landscapes and little else. She was not at all impressed by this effort, and, as big sisters do, said so.
This week Linda attended a huge historic occasion, the Obama rally in St. Paul with her daughter, Shana. Photos were taken. Some are posted on the Erik, Shana, Anja blog linked at left. A quick scan of these photos shows pictures of the candidate (we've seen him before) and the huge, impressive crowd. There are no pictures, however, of Stan's sister and Stan's niece taking in this important event.
So now a word of advice from a little brother . . .
