Someone asked me, “What do you actually do with your camera?”

I replied, “I spend my days wandering and exploring and recording the things I see that call to me. Things that might easily be taken for granted. With every picture, I am more grateful for this beautiful world.”

I am not sure my answer was satisfactory.

And it doesn’t matter at all.

 

All I can think about these days is peach cobbler. I remember a really easy recipe with flour and sugar and melted butter poured over fruit and baked. I think there may have been an egg called for. And nutmeg, I’m sure. And vanilla ice cream as a topping.

The photography side of my brain requires this kind of hunting and gathering, often gleaning what is left behind or unnoticed. Stealing little moments and savoring them.
