Sometimes when I’m editing photos I laugh out loud. Some moments are captured THAT perfectly–or imperfectly for that matter. I’ve cried recalling my life’s dearest moments from photographs. And whenever I pick up a camera I can’t help thinking, “This might be the last photo ever taken of you”. I don’t mean to be dark, but rather to share that a lot of emotion is packed into what I do.
Tonight I came across the photograph below and I smiled. As I tried to make the kid in the background look less oblivious and lurking I laughed. And then I was compelled to share it. These 2 people are having the time of their lives. Maybe just in that moment, maybe every day. Heck if I know, all I know is that it struck me. When I captured it I remember being stoked I had caught such a genuine personal moment. As I look at it now I just can’t help feeling a twinge of overly sentimental gushy-ness.
And then I decided “Love is a million years old”, which I hope somehow describes what this picture means to me. And if it doesn’t… well I hope you enjoy it for your own reasons.
