Photography
Photography has been defined as the art,
science and practice of creating a durable
image. I don’t think of it in such a technical
way, but rather as the act of capturing
something that I see so that I can take
pleasure in visiting it again.
These days I find myself relying more
and more upon the images that I’ve captured
to remind me of the people, places and
fleeting moments in my life. As the
years pass, the mental images
begin to fade for all of us and
our photographs become more
meaningful and dearer to us.
The photos that we capture
can evoke a myriad of feelings
everything from laughter to
tears.
I was once asked “What is
your favorite thing to do in life?” After
giving it some thought, my answer
was “to laugh.” It wasn’t photography
or singing, both of which are a
passion for me, but simply to laugh.
Does my photography make me
laugh? Sometimes, but mostly is
just causes me to smile as I review
my life and travel vicariously
through my photos.
Photography. If you haven’t
tried it, then take a chance.
Document something that you
would like to remember or
just something that simply
makes you smile. Make some
memories for the rocking chair.
