three things...

Taken over the summer when we were living at a friends farmhouse while we were waiting on our house to be finished. Such great memories. Looking through my film scans makes me realize three things. (1) I take too many pictures of Pyper. She is probably going to be emotionally scarred from this someday and have a fear of people with cameras. (2) I love pictures with grain more than ever before. I never thought I would prefer grain over sharpness. (3)  Most of my photos are taken with a horizontal perspective. I think that is just how my brain sees the world...

the passing of time...

A photo of Maci from all the way back in February of this year when Maci, Tyler, me and Sherri took Pyper and Allister to the Sports Park playground in Greenville. I am not for sure that there are many times that I show up to anything without a camera. I guess I am afraid of missing something special. Even though most of what I capture seems to be the ordinary (such as this). That being said, I am starting to realize that the ordinary seems to become special as time passes...

goodbyes are never easy...

A few weeks back, I flew in from Boston and Sadi was on her way back to college. We met for dinner in Arlington because I didn't get to see her when she came home for a few days. No matter if the time is short or if we get to spend a week together, goodbyes are never easy.  We are so proud of everything Sadi has accomplished, but we miss her nonetheless. I love the fact that I always have a camera with me (in this case, my Leica M6) so I can capture these special moments for permanent memories...

shootout...

A good film day today... I received the email with the link to some of my color film scans. Some of the film was taken quite some time ago. Here is a photo of Toby during one of my visits to Southern California during January of this year. We all ended up at Laguna Beach to try and catch some sunset photos. It was that typical photo of taking pictures of each other taking pictures (a shoot out of sorts). Better late than never on posting the photo...
