While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.
- Dorothea Lang
I've been going back thru my pictures and organizing them for a class I've been taking. Some of them really just about bring me to tears. Like this one... I remember taking this picture. It was in 2005 and I was walking out the door to get my film developed at Costco. I noticed I had one shot left and called to McKenna. She turned around and I took it. It's by no means a work of art- but it is to me. I remember getting it back and saying to Bill, when did she get so big? Sometimes in a picture it brings it all home loud and clear that time is passing on and things change. She's getting bigger...She'll be off to college in 10 years... She won't be home with me forever. I am blessed to be here with her everyday but yet it takes a picture ever so often to remind me that I better cherish those days a little more because they won't last forever.
