Photography helps people to see. (Berenice Abbott)
Today was good. I felt like there were lots of moments of creativity, lots of times of thinking about what would look nice in a beautiful and simple way, lots of times of deciding things in a happy way. I loved decorating for the rehearsal dinner, and taking pictures of the rehearsal and the eating and the dinner (which I guess are the same things, but "the dinner" seems more like the act of people sitting around, being together, eating. Or something).
I love, love, love taking pictures. I wish I was better at it. Maybe one day, I will be. But for tonight, it was enough to do be able to have as much fun with it as I did.
I know it sounds kind of crazy probably, but I just feel like I am significantly more at peace with a camera in front of my face. I like looking at the world through a frame. It feels nice and makes my brain slow down for just a second. I love it.
But anyway, maybe I'll take some more tomorrow. I hope so. There are other plans for tomorrow too - I have some late birthday things to do for my Ma, like take her to Bath & Body Works, and to Thai Thai. Needless to say, I'm excited.
I'm so glad for this trip. I love Lubbock, and I love my family. I enjoy weddings, I enjoy taking photographs. I'm enjoying this.
I'm blessed.
Love,
Tara.
PS: Below is a picture I took today, one of my favorites.
