one of a kind

There are people out there that upon hearing their first name..... we instantly KNOW who they are...... Call it fame... call it uniqueness...... call it what you will.

Madonna..... Cher..... Fabio.... Oprah.... Shakira.... Beyonce'.....

And then......

There's Arley.

Ok.... maybe this GMG senior isn't famous.

Yet.

Perhaps someday he will be? I do know this.... when someone says "Arley" in these parts... everyone that I've talked to seems to know who I'm talking about... and I can honestly say I don't know another Arley on this planet.

So here's to unique names, my fellow Hawkeye and Cubs compatriot!

Arley was the fourth of five siblings that I've already photographed. Poor Arley has probably spent the greater part of his home life waiting for bathroom time with four sisters to compete with. No wonder he changed outfits so quickly yesterday!

Special thanks to Mama Kathy and lil' sis Melody for putting up with our Hawk Talk and chatter about Cubs Nation. I'm already racking my brain for your session, Melody! :-)

This guy rocked the shades..... and a tip of the hat to Union Pacific for the timing on the train shot!
