I am not a photographer.I love photos and look at them in
magazines, blogs and in my hallway every day . Photos of my family are
probaly my most prized possessions. I took photography in college and
can take pretty good shots if I try with a decent camera. I almost got a
degree in magazine journalism because I wanted to work with layouts of
photos. I do have an eye for composition , color, contrast and balance
when you are setting up a shot. And all day long I see life through snap
shot images in my mind and think, " Oh that would make a cool photo or
interesting painting". I say I'm too busy living in the moments to
stop and capture the moments. While I see through a lens I don't live behind one. But regardless of why, I don't take photographs.
So
I am grateful to live in a day when sharing photos is so available and
easy. For while I am at most all the school functions and family events I
am never the one camera in hand. I am thankful to all the generous moms
who share the moments of my boys' school days. I am thankful to aunts
and uncles who capture all my boys birthdays and family vacation
memories. And I am thankful for friends who share our lives and capture
all the other " in between" events. And I'm thankful to my husband
who faithfully remembers to take a photo of each of my paintings just
before they are sold and slip out the back door!
These are a few that almost got away!...
