Why I love Photography....

Do you ever have those days where you get a chance to dig through that box of old photos? My monkey #2 two turned 7 this week and I pulled out the "box" to put a poster together for his class. It didn't take long for me to become very nostalgic. I couldn't believe the time had flown so quickly....and suddenly felt this overwhelming gratitude for each of the photos in my box. I wouldn't remember those things without the photos. I couldn't really remember exactly how chubby his little arms were, and how bright his little eyes twinkled when he smiled. I would never have realized how his baby brother looked just like him as a baby.
My photos are priceless to me! And they become more valuable as time passes. It is like having a magical power that allows you the ability to capture a moment and save it just as it is... forever!

This is why I decided to pursue photography.
Its power always amazes me.
So I found this amazing clip that really captures how I feel about photography.
....and remember - Keep Me, Protect Me, Share Me… don’t keep your photos in a box, or a drawer or on the computer!! Put them all around you, enjoy them, let them last forever....

(it is long, but worth the watch)
