When my husband took me up to Kansas City earlier this month for a surprise getaway, I found a set of beautifully tiled stairs. Without even hesitating, I flopped down on my belly on the sidewalk and started shooting away. I probably got all kinds of crazy looks, but you know what? I'll never see those people again, so it doesn't really matter. : )Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09049463440095119744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-54103043728736859752013-07-30T11:09:01.581-07:002013-07-30T11:09:01.581-07:00Kelly, this just spoke to me so, having just come ...Kelly, this just spoke to me so, having just come back from the beach myself with two friends who are always wondering.. "what is she taking a photo of now!" We have to do this for us and you could not have said it better. I love the one of the back of your daughters hair, in her hat. Oh, I love them all.

When my kids were young, I took photos of everything they did, trying to preserve their childhoods for them. Now I shoot more for myself and like you, I do shoot some strange things! But it fills my soul and makes me happy. Your photos are beautiful and I'm glad you had such a great vacation! Looking forward to seeing you in nine days!terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-61867887272610200762013-07-30T07:30:39.875-07:002013-07-30T07:30:39.875-07:00I'm with Pam!

It's important to have those family photos, most definitely...but it's all the other photos that bring out our creative side. My family probably can't remember when I haven't had a camera in my hand and shooting pics. My Mom says, "Judy takes a picture of EVERYTHING!" Haha She's right! Whatever moves me.

You are always so witty and interesting to read! And, although I probably knew this about you and forgot, I was surprised that you consider this new, and that your camera is 2 years old -I assumed from your talent that y ou had been doing this all your life . My story, although not growing from scrap booking, is similar, and I totally get the feeling of joy from finding a passion that feeds your soul. I'm happy for you.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05433584313253805817noreply@blogger.com
