ok I am 48 years old and i think i can finally say this without fear of ridicule
in 1988 i was 15 years old i was to start high school that augest so my mom who was recently diagnosed with bone marrow cancer decided me and her should go on a small trip to visit her brother and sister in law"my aunt and uncle"
we was in kansas a week and i had a good time until about 2 days in when my cousin decided to sexually assault me she even told me that she was doing the same to her brother.
this happened several times in that week .
by the end of the week i was glad to come home but i never spoke up about it and i think my low self essteem is from that .

The first thing that needs to be said is thanks for trusting us enough to share something that difficult for you.
There are so many ways to have a take on what happened. The only one that matters, here, is yours and possibly that of the other person (for motive/intent). I'm sorry that you went through something that affected you that way, and that has been difficult on you since then. I do know that the emotional strain you describe is not an uncommon result.

No. From what I know back then most guys would just wonder why you complained about getting lucky - since that's how they'd have seen it. It was a long time before most were willing to accept that females could assault males.
What you describe may be why you'd be called a "survivor". You've made it this far.

Congratulations! Was it a landscape photo or a shot of a special object or site?
I guess this qualifies as professional exposure.

It was a landscape shot of a local lake i took earlier this year, unfortunately Millington sold the property, and it's inaccessible now.
I'm happy with the exposure Ty

It's great that you have a photo that you're so proud of, especially one you can reproduce at that size. I couldn't begin to tell you the price range. You'd have a much better idea of the market for unique framed landscapes.

Oh! Thanks for that link. I can see that you made good use of the light filtering down through the tree leaves to the water. It looks like the edges of a wooden dam or conduit are still present. Brook or canal?
