i already know i'm wretched at this, but i don't mind all that much - maybe with practice, i'll get better. pictures are beautiful; they express in an instant so much more than we could ever hope to say by an infinite amount of words. i hope to try to document this summer - 2010 - by taking pictures, and to put those up no matter how horrible i think the shots are, because really, it's not about my shooting technique. it's about the content. it's about the forever beauty in the breath of a petal; it's about the delighted giggle on my sister's face; it's about my brother's look of incredulity when he catches a perfect pass from my dad; it's about all those tiny, timeless moments that remain ingrained in our brains for all our lives. it's about secrets whispered after lights-out, and spontaneous adventures, and stolen kisses. it's about tart lemonade and sweet strawberries and warm pancakes. it's about laughter and tears, absorbing sunshine and allowing rain to pelt your face. it's about seeing life for yourself
in a way that no one else can
simply because
they're not you.
