Ummmm, Huummmmm! This is why I love pictures!!! :) Its hard though, because do you live the moment and capture in through just the feeling, or do you immortally capture the image with the camera, thus taking away a bit from the living of it?
A picture allows you to keep the moment from running away AND you can share the moment with someone who wasn't there. That's what I love about pictures.
I can agree with jlw... the times I am carrying a camera around trying to capture the sweetness of a moment, the picture-taking tends to take away a bit. It's a frustrating paradox for me.
I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."
