Old Loves

Ahhhh Photography...

I have always loved photography. Looking at photos, taking them, black and white, color, shadows, angles, lighting, exposure and so on. It's all so interesting to me and I love the artistry. Photography was always my creative outlet. In college I even took a couple photography classes, one was film (the dark room was super fun!) and one was digital. There is a lot to learn with photography and I want to dive into that more.

With the normal day to day mom life and working full time you sometimes (or always) forget about yourself. Even if we plan a day to head to my parents and sleepover, I NEVER remember pajamas or any extra clothes for me. I barely even think to bring my phone charger. But for my son I manage to bring everything and much more, just in case. Photography used to be a hobby for me and I think it's time for me allow myself to have a hobby again and enjoy something outside of my normal everyday life, worries, to do lists, etc. And you should too, whatever it may be.

Everyone who knows me well or just has me on Facebook, I LOVE taking pictures especially when it comes to my son. (he loves the camera too, taking & being the model) I love to capture all the special moments, even the normal moments because I know one day it will be really nice to look back on all the memories and relive them. As much as my husband may get annoyed sometimes with "another picture?!?" he has also said to me many times that he is glad I take them. If I was leaving it up to him we would have very few pictures of us and our son.

I have used my 35mm camera for Christmas and a couple other special occasions, but it's time for me to get outside a little, explore, see more that my camera can do and relearn some things I am sure I forgot.

Writing was another old love as I mentioned before in a previous post. And here I am doing it again. The saying "out with the old and in with the new" doesn't always apply to everything. Old things, old loves, old memories, they all connect you to your soul. Cherish them, embrace them and make them new again.
