Capturing The Moments

Sometimes we spend so much time commemorating a moment, that we actually miss what is happening before us. Enjoying life as it is, as opposed to, taking photos are two different ways of experiencing the moment. By being an active participant, we capture the moment in our minds forever. While being behind a camera, we are limited to seeing the world through a lens, which may be sometimes unfocused. Although others can appreciate the photos long after the moment has past, we can never go back and experience what we have lost. We are meant to be part of the present, so that we have a first hand experience of living our journey. Let others take our pictures, so that we can spend life capturing the special moments.
Some of us see the world with different eyes...
 
(I would be the first to say that I don't see things the way my daughter sees the world. Being an artist, the world is filled with endless opportunities to create. What is, is not always the way they always are. To be acknowledged for our creativity by peers or professionals in the field is to be appreciated. I, sometimes, am in wonder that this wonderful artist is my child who has come into her own. Q - congratulations on winning for your photo series.)
