when i look through a camera's viewfinder, i see color, i see light, i see freedom.
the freedom to create, to compose, to share with others what i see and how i see it. to speak through what i choose to have in focus. to show a little bit of me in what i choose as my subjects. to appreciate the little things that no one else sees, the hues, the angles, the details.
the magical ability to steal and paint with a moment. to stop time. to take a deep breath, and sigh happiness as i give myself the time to be grateful for the beauty i'm lucky enough to be viewing.
