I have been been blessed with a creative son, he has a keen sense of his surroundings and notices the smallest detail in an object; he loves to draw and create and has a particular love of drawing in ink. I hope to allow him to continue the flow of creativity and one of the activities I love for him to do is to take pictures. I later leaf through the photos to see what he sees and note how he frames an object. While on our trip to Missouri I gave him the camera and let him be in charge of photography. Sometimes while I was driving; sometimes while we were walking; sometimes while we were just sitting and enjoying the weather while I crocheted.

He has a love of taking photos of his feet.

He also enjoys taking pictures of his mother.

He was very particular about how he wanted to line this shot.

It is interesting how one might not realize the dark hole they have been living in until they come out and see the light.

Often times I wonder if it isn’t a conversion but an actual reversion to the true me that has been laying dormant for over 10 years. I feel a cognitive energy I’ve not felt in a long time in both the analytical and creative aspects of life. I want to experience and do things. I am lucky to be surrounded by incredible friends, have met wonderful people and look forward to many new experiences to come.

I no longer wish to sit by the side-lines and watch life pass by. It’s time to create, experience and just do. An exciting prospect.
