Our next door neighbors are grad students at Rutgers who caretake the Hutcheson Memorial Forest, 185 acres of preserved land that Rutgers owns which includes the last 55 acre virgin hardwood forest on the east coast. They became parents last October and have a beautiful baby girl who is a natural in front of the camera. She has no startle reflex, no anxiety about being on her own [as long as mom or dad are in sight!] and is so even tempered that she’s just wonderful to be around!
David & Inga have been getting many many suggestions that they should consider having Corinna do some baby modeling so David came by yesterday with her [and a number of wardrobe changes
] so that we could try some images of her to send of to a modeling agency I have worked with, Axis Model & Talent and possibly several peers who work in the city with children and infants. It is simply such a joy to be around an infant because of their absolute wonder at EVERYTHING! And they are just totally in the moment, no past, no future, just right now. There is nothing in the subjunctive case for these guys and they haven’t been taught about guilt yet. It is simply a “pure” experience and I LOVE it!!
Any time you want to come over and play, Corinna, just have mom or dad give a call and you and I will have a play date!
