Summer has drawn to a close, I suppose, but the last month of it was perfectly marvelous. My new 5D Mark II and 50mm 1.4 lens arrived a few weeks ago (!!!) and I've begun to really pick it up during the moments that matter most. Real life moments, moments with friends who visit from halfway across the globe, moments with growing babies + kiddos. Moments zipping around together in our favorite car, moments with cousins + grandparents + hot air balloons, moments of learning and growing, day-off moments in the park with your friends who are more like a second family, acting more like little kids than teenagers, coloring, sketching, eating {too many} sweets, and listening to the symphony. Moments spent walking to the library with them, giggling and whispering, perhaps disturbing the peace a little. Moments spent fulfilling tradition with our barefoot walks, talking like always, but getting a little bit deeper each time. These moments are the ones to remember and the ones I'll treasure.
post script: I haven't been posting as frequently lately (obviously) and I've even thought about stopping posting on this blog altogether. But in the past month or so, I've gotten feedback from lots of you, especially people I know in "real life" that has been so encouraging! I didn't even know that some of you read my blog, and just makes me happy to know that you're enjoying my little pieces of work in some small way. So thanks for sticking with me, friends!

ReplyDeleteSeriously, I love all these to bits and it was SO fun to be able to pick out some things in the photographs and know what they're about(like the Mornings book and your brother... and sister, and your art work). It's SUCH a pleasure to know you.

so glad you didn't leave! I love all of your photos! I was thinking about you yesterday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. :) It's easy to get so wrapped up in the "perfect, posed" picture that you forget the real life moments are what are truly worth photographing. Great job!
ReplyDeleteP.s. the 50mm 1.4 is my fav lens.
