Happy Birthday Zachary Scott

My brother turns 28 today.

He is an excellent photographer.  This is my favorite picture that he took of Riley and my mom so long ago.  

Uncle Zach is a tricky fellow.  His sense of humor is confusing to little kids, but he pats them on the head and they think he's fun. :)

 And he is fun.  

He can't take a normal picture.

Woop, he saw the camera.

He lives in New York, so we miss his smile a lot.

He's a hard worker and he's always doing something incredible and hard, just to make himself more awesome.  But how do you get more awesome than this?

Zach just does. 

He's uninhibited.

Zach writes songs and music and I wish he'd send me a CD.  I love it when he yell-sings and sings a sad falsetto.
When he came to town last summer, he spent an afternoon with a herd of wild horses and torn up barns.  He's an artist with is camera and sees beauty in things I might ignore.

He adopts incredible exercise routines like the "slosh pipe."  Just google it.  He's strong and he does hard things.
He definitely doesn't follow the crowd.  If you say a tan is handsome, he'll go pale.  If everyone is growing a beard, he'll shave.

And he goes for a run when Sandy hits.  Not surprised at all. :)

He's one of the coolest, most wonderful people I know.  Love you, Zach!
