Obsession

It's official. I have an obsession with photography. Deep down I think I always have. My beloved husband bought me a Canon Rebel Xsi for my birthday. In less than six months, I have taken over 8,000 pictures. Yeah ... I would say I have an obsession! I just love photography. I love to capture everyday moments in a creative way. My poor baby girl is the subject of most of my photos. I am with her everyday, all day. She is growing so fast. I'm afraid if I don't document every moment that she will grow up right before my eyes, and I will have missed the moment with nothing tangible to hold on to that memory.

Photography is amazing because it captures a moment in time that would otherwise be lost in a blink of eye, or in my case, the click of the shutter. I love looking at the world through the view finder, knowing that when my hand pushes that little black button, I will have stolen a moment in time. I think this is why I love photographing people. Inanimate objects and nature are fun to photograph, but they are just things. Life, the Bible says, is "but a vapor." And then all that we are left with of that vapor of life is the photographs we have taken.
