As I sit here this evening I am reflecting back on this year. It has brought me challenges and new comforts.
The picture here is of me by one of the students that I work with at a local high school program. I let her run loose with my camera and it was as if it was christmas or her birthday. Her eyes lit up and she was so surprised when I said yes she could hold it...when I said she could shoot with it you could see the joy. I sit here now and realise that everytime I take a camera into my hands I feel this same way. Each time is the first, and last time that these moments will be captured.
I view this picture and I see the years that I have been fortunate to have lived, and the lives I have touched. I feel privledged to have been the moment that she felt to capture. As a young teen what could she see in a subject as myself? That is the beauty of what we all have inside of us. We each see our world differently and at the same time we co exist with others that we sometimes don't even notice. That is the wonder of capyuring the moments that make up our lives. Looking at the images created tells a story to each viewer. As you go through your day stop and admire the moments that have made your day. The good, the bad, the boring, the exciting...it is what has made you for that day, savior these and taste all that life puts in front of you.
