A Diary of Small Things

In everyone's life, even in the darkest places, there is something that brings them happiness. My name is Cliff Cumber, and this is my attempt to find those moments and catalog them day-by-day with a photo, a drawing, a line or two.

If you feel inspired, I hope you'll join me. One moment of joy, every day.

14 // Nikon Coolpix L12: discovering new relatives This charming little roustabout is my third, maybe fourth cousin removed, Stanley. It’s been 10 years since I saw the English side of the family, so all of the cousins a generation behind me are growing up and making lives of their own. Let me see if I can work through the family connections for anyone out there who can work out Stanley’s removal status from myself: my mother’s aunt’s son’s daughter’s son. Or my great aunt’s son’s daughter’s son. Clear? Family tree aside, I got to spend a couple of hours with Stanley, his mum and my cousin (her dad) on the floor, crawling around and delighting in baby giggles.
