“Last spring, it rained nearly every day for two or three weeks straight. The kids were going nuts, they were so tired of being stuck in the house. That day, they decided to go out and play anyway, even though it was pouring. I stood in the garage—I wasn’t about to get wet—watching them play and taking dozens of shots.”—Greg
