_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________I captured this video clip on my phone whilst chasing on my bike!Look out for the mixture of elation and exhaustion at the end.I did plan on telling you about my recent computer woes and a recent purchase of mine that has breathed life back into my workflow but yesterday something far more exciting happend and I want to share this video with you instead. My dear mother has achieved so much in her life but has never been able to achieve the seemingly difficult task of riding a bike. Well around a month ago she signed up for lessons with a professional instructor and hey presto she’s done it! Yesterday she asked me to help her practice and I witnessed for the first time something my mother’s been wanting to do for years! I’m so proud of her and it makes me so happy because I know how much she wanted it. It certainly pays to get professional instruction, if I had not done so myself it would have taken me years to achieve the results I’m getting now with my photography. Here’s to progress!!!

Your mom is awesome:P
Bravo mum!
Oh my gosh that is not your mom she looks so young!
Congrats mommy!
I Love this so much. She looks so knackered and relieved at the end and then she says so quietly I can Ride B, I can Ride.-That is so priceless. She looks amazing, what is her secret!
Wow! That was so powerful! I can really sense the joy that both of you have. Thanks for sharing B.
Perfect music to go with this priceless moment, B. Really sweet.
Precious!
Wow B! You always make me smile! What a great story. It just goes to show you what each of us can achieve if we put our minds to it. Thank you for sharing.
That was so awesome! That is so inspiring that your Mom is still pushing forward to achieve things she wants. I think as we get older it is easy to just sit back and take things as they are. Now I know where you get your drive and determination from. What is also amazing is that you managed to record this. One because it is cool that you were there, it is nice to see you were there spending time practicing with your Mom. Then also that you were able to record all that and not crash yourself. Hummmm….if you don’t make it as a photographer maybe you can be a movie camera man. =) Thanks for sharing B that made me smile much more than hearing about your computer.
Wow, so touching!! love the story, thanks for sharing a bit of your everyday life. I use to do it more and I think people use to like it more than my photography!!! I’m so busy I don’t get to share about my personal life as much because I have to serve my clients first and I HAVE NO TIME!! So take advantage of sharing your life when you can and people will become addicted to it- I AM!!! LOL! As you become more successful, there are fewer times to document special times like these so take advantage of it!! Bravo.
That video absolutely made my day, nearly made me cry and has completely motivated me as well! Super props to your very beautiful mum!
