10 minutes with my little guy on a warm spring afternoon. He was bouncy and moving, and not wanting to listen to me. I shot a few frames quickly from the hip, often while I was sitting or laying down.
I went in and loaded the card, and immediately I selected almost all of them to be deleted. Reason? They did not meet my “set” expectations. They had movement, missed focus, some had poor composition. Then I stopped myself and decided to give them a second chance. Struggling, I looked beyond my own set of rules and then I saw it…..in the midst of the movement I noticed they had depth, they had life. Besides, why so much pressure on myself? These were personal photos!
Soooooo, here they are. A tiny testament of the new me. In 2010 one of my biggest things I have been working on in my struggle for balance, is differentiating points in my life in which I can lighten up the pressure on myself.
This example is just a baby step, but I am noticing a difference.
And it has been freeing.
{Here’s my boy…just REAL LIFE.}
( Thank you for reminding ones again that perfect moments aren’t ones I want to keep but yet tring to capture them. Why? I ask my self this question all the time. Great work BTW. I love these real moments and lil toes. Baby steps are perfect steps,we all learn to see life through them and then somehow we grow out of them.
