4 Questions with Malcolm | Austin, Texas Photography

When I looked through the camera lens I was caught off guard. I knew this was my brother, but for a split second I caught a glimpse of my dad many decades younger. There’s so much I can write and say about my brother Malcolm. How he can be a goof ball (which if we’re all being honest is much of the time :), but also be able to talk about real life – the good, the bad, the ugly. How our inside jokes make absolutely no sense to the rest of the world, but we can laugh by the mere mention of two words or one line. Or how much of a disaster it was to take a college course together (German) and try and do a skit together. Out of a seven-line skit, I think we managed to “act” out two before it turned into laughter. At least the class thought we were funny.

I can talk about how amazed I am at his ability to pick up languages (he speaks three fluent), how he can talk to anyone at any time anywhere, his passion and how he comes out stronger in life through whatever it is that life hands him. How we can be so different, yet still be so close. Having a brother is seriously one of the greatest joys of my life.

Malkie - thanks for everything, from the laughs, your love, your example of faith and all the mems! Love you and come visit!!

 

1. What is something about your life right now that you would have never imagined 5 years ago? 
Five years ago, I never thought I'd be working in retail part time at minimum wage, but you got to do what you can, and I'm grateful for the help I get from my parents.

2. What is one thing that you would go back and do differently if you could? 
I truly love learning foreign languages, but I think I would have chosen a different major so that there would be more career opportunities out there. I would totally still do something with foreign languages as well.

 

3. What is one of the happiest moments of your life? 
One of the happiest moments of my life was when the surgeon brought my niece Gabriella to the window for us to see her the first time the night she was born.

4. What is one piece of advice you want to pass along to the next generation? 
I want the next generation to know about Jesus Christ and not just as a figure in history, but as the living God who came down from out of eternity into time and dwelled among us. I want the next generation to know that He died for everyone's sins to save us!
