Most of the time Aaron and I forget to really look at each other. Violet is distracting us with a song or a whine. The dog needs to go outside or the trash is overflowing.
We pass each other. We see right through one another. 
I take my camera everywhere I go now. I find myself just pushing down the shutter button without focusing my mind on the subject at hand. Click. Click. Click. I haven't got the energy to take in every beautiful, ordinary moment, as it happens. And so, I click, click, click. I am saving the view for later.
Hours, days or weeks go by and I look at the images I've taken with fresh eyes. I see things that went unnoticed at first. I realize how much I've missed. My camera freezes in time, what my brain can't catch.
It's the best view I've got.

I need to treat my husband as a more common subject - as I do with my daughter. She is used to me just clicking away and ignores me. He can't help but make a face.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! You have a real talent, Kelly!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. Well said.
ReplyDeleteOy!! So my life, too!!
ReplyDeleteI'll tell ya, though, as devastating as hurricane Ike was for us, it made us look at each other, deal with each other, in ways we hadn't in years.
Yeah, learning to count my blessings...
Love your photo, BTW. All that clicking... You've got real talent!
Wow! howI wish my husband would let me click, click, click away at him. What an eye you have!
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to ask for a while, what kind of camera/lenses do you use?
