...life as you picture it...

I find myself going through my daily life seeing frames that I could get if I was looking through the viewfinder of my camera.  I often think...humm, if I took a picture right now, this is what I would do.  I do this A LOT throughout my day.  A couple holding hands, the happiness in the faces of children when they see something new and exciting, and the tears when they fall down.  The beautiful nature that God has given us.

To me, a photograph is a memory frozen in time.  It captures a story.  The emotions, expressions, feelings of the people within the story.  A photo can be put away for years and years, often forgotten about, and when found, can bring a flood of memories back to the viewers mind.  And memories within that photograph can be different from person to person.  I find it very difficult to abstain from taking photographs, especially in rare occasions.  My husband, however, looks at it differently.  He told me yesterday (we were at the snow) that I needed to put my camera away.  When I asked "why?" he said, "...you don't need a picture of everything, this way, we can come back and make more memories..."
