Yet another reason I love photography
Mon, April 6, 2009 The past couple of days I have been sick. Like sick sick. Like the sickest I have been in years. I laid in bed for four days. That is four days without playing with the boys. Or going to work. And worse; it was four days without using my camera. While I was laying around I decided to look at some of my old photos.
The few photos below made me smile while I was laying around during those four days. They made me smile and laugh remembering the day I took them. So for no reason, here are some photos that made me smile while I was sick sick sick.
This is a photo of my youngest.. the focus is blurry but his smile shines through..

I love taking photos for the exact reason I am sharing with you all..because I can look back and smile at the memories. Memories that could have possibly been forgotten if I did not sit back and click.
Happy Tuesday all.

the one of d running is fantastic, as it the one of your gram laughing. you can totally see the laughter throughout the whole photo.
awesome!
You've captured them all beautifully. It's hard not to smile seeing their faces :)
Hope you're feeling better!
Wow, that picture of your grandmother tugs at my heartstrings. What a beautiful woman! Also, the first one of your son is adorable. Who cares if it is blurry? He is adorable!
You are so right about why you love photography. There was no digital photography when my kids were younger, but I still got lots of photos of them. Unfortunately, due to lots of issues, I don't have them now, but I still have my daughters.
Family and photos go together. Location, memories, stories, and just plain fun can all be captured on film, bring the best and the worst to life.
I love all of your photos, but your Grandmother has such character in her face. I can almost hear her laughing.......................:)
Amazing shots, Kim, and I think my fave is of grandma...just beautiful!
