Tonight I’m feeling a little inspired. I got my new lens in the mail today, and decided the best way to test it out was to take some pictures at the beach. For me, photography is a lot of things, but the most important thing often gets overlooked. There is the rush to make sure everything “looks right” there is the technical side (that I promise I won’t bore you with!), and there is the regular daily duty in life in general. But something happens when I’m taking pictures. I have this amazing ability to freeze some of the most beautiful moments in time. I don’t create them, my subjects create them. I am lucky enough to hold a camera and look through a lens and capture the sweet memories. There’s a picture over my couch of my children looking out at the ocean. And everytime I look at that I will remember what it was like to have little children and watch them love and trust each other. And remember the wonder and the thrill they felt while watching the surf and wondering about the creatures living “out there”
It even happens in the studio, when we’re posing somebody up. And you see, a spark, a bit of personality leap out through the lens. I don’t think I can accurately describe my love for photography, but I can definately describe my absolute giddy, jump up and touch the sky happiness I feel when I am able to hand someone a beautiful memory of a fleeting moment in time.
I’m adding a few pictures to this blog post. The first are from our little trip to the beach. The last few (while taken at the beach) are of Kaitlyn wearing her gdiaper. Gdiapers are this amazing cross between cloth and disposable. They are literally the only diapers that don’t give her a rash. And they are environmentally friendly. Also, the people who work there are warm, caring people. I emailed asking about the diapers initially, and Kelli, the nicest customer service rep in the world, emailed me asking how things were going.
PS: There are more. I might post them in a bit. If you’re dying to see them, let me know. It actually gets a lot better from here
