Every now and then, I go back through all my photo files, and realize one of the downfalls of being the shutterbug I am is forgetting some of the pictures I have taken. This evening I took a stroll down photo lane and discovered a store of photos from our last Fall Retreat. I love autumn, with its rich and vibrant colors, to the cool breeze...and having a retreat on Lake Huron just adds to its charm. Seeing these makes me look forward to autumn, though I realize this year I have new adventures to look forward to...
The colors of autumn...
Life's a beach...or on the beach...
Luck be a lady...bug...
A beloved park bench...
I sometimes wish my eyes were attached to cameras. It is so often that I see something and think "Wow! That would make a cool picture!" and yet there is no camera nearby or the moment has passed too quickly. Yes, yes, the memory and the experience are my own internal "camera" of sorts, I know. I can hear Bishop Flores in my head from his address to us at World Youth Day telling us to be sure to capture the moment in our minds and hearts as well as on film. But seriously, sometimes I just want to take a picture, and it would be far easier if the camera were attached to my eyes and clicked on command.
For those who know me, they might say I'm a wee bit of a photobug. Ok, they might use a different word than "wee." I enjoy the capture of an emotion, a moment, and sometimes just little things that you don't think to capture everyday. On a recent trip, I apparently began to take the term "photobug" too literally in some people's estimation...I think I got a couple interesting shots. You be the judge!
Yes, I know it was a LOOOONG break, but like I said, I am not one who keeps a journal well. I've learned over the past few months that perhaps it isn't so much that I don't have the ability to keep up with a journal, but rather that perhaps I have to alter my perceptions of what that journal should look like.
In my mind, I aspire to keep a record of deep thoughts and profound experiences, waxing philosophical on life, unrooting the mysteries of theology and sharing them with the world. Well, in reality I think it is safe to say my profound moments come in blips and images rather than verbose, inspiring prose like Monster Friend. I guess I'm just going to have to learn to love who I am and go with it.
What does that mean for this blog? More photos, less babble! Well, more photos at least...it's a definite fact that I tend to photograph those things that intrigue me...whether it be ice cream flavors clearly designed to prey on emotional women,
(really, Edy's? Eating away our emotions?)
or cats laying with their legs hanging off the table like a child...ok, maybe not exactly like a child, but still intriguing to me!
So stay tuned for more pictures from the life of this Rakstar, and the occasional prose when the Spirit strikes. :)
God bless and good night!!
