The view finder
The other day I had my niece over for a whole day! Every time its just the two of us, we have a lot of deep conversations. We look back at each others lives and savor the moments. One of our conversations sparked that thought process for this post.
Photography is one of my passions. I did not realize it over night. Ever since I can remember I loved cameras and enjoyed taking pictures. However, my parents hated with a passion to be in pictures or even take pictures. Therefore, we did not have a camera growing up. I still don't understand why they feel so strongly about it. I used to pester and nag at my parents for a camera. However, that did not work. My dad always said it was a waste of money and somehow changed the topic! On my very first mission trip to Honduras , I discovered the joy of taking pictures. When I had enough money saved up I bought a Kodak camera and enjoyed every minute of it! Around that time a couple that I knew was getting married. I wanted to get the couple a gift that was unique and special to them and fun for me. I was on a limited income at that time. Since I already had the camera, it was pretty inexpensive to take pictures and make a scrapbook. I had a photo shoot session with them a few days before their wedding! During that photo shoot I realized that I was in love with photography! I loved capturing the beauty of God's creation.
I got so many compliments on my photography skills and everyone in my life including my family was surprised that I had and eye for certain details. I got to take pictures of more couples and loved it. In fact, my family encouraged me and helped me get a Canon EOS Rebel X SLR digital. I had so much fun with that camera. Here are a few of the pictures I have taken over the course of years.
