Behind the Lens

There is a feeling of security being behind the lens. I know it all too much. I like it now, but already regret the fact that down the road there will only be a handful of photos of myself with my family.

This changed a few weeks back when my mother-in-law rolled into town with her Nikon. We were playing a game of "tackle volleyball" (a Patton original) with the kids in the playroom. I snagged the kids, pulled them in tight, and asked S to snap a quick pic. I will cherish it forever along with the sweet pic of my husband and I outside during intermission of our family baseball game.

Thank you S for these photos.

This is a great reminder why I am a photographer - to freeze pieces of life, so that one day when we look back on them, we can remember who we were.

I know the feeling. We should both work on being on the other side of the lens once in awhile.
