I figured it out...

I have subscribed to so many blogs lately that it is hard to keep up with them all, but I have noticed a pattern. I would say 90% of them are photography blogs. I have this strange obsession with photography. I want to be a photographer for national geographic, that would be my ultimate desire and before I met Jason that was my plan. I was going to go to school to be a photographer and somehow work my way into photojournalism and eventually travel all over the world to take photographs of children in Africa playing in the tall grass, or in India playing in the rivers. I want to travel to the North Pole to photograph polar bears and the south pole to capture penguins at play. It is an unhealthy obsession really. If I could I would spend thousands and thousands of dollars to decorate my home in places I have never been that some day I will go to just to take pictures. Well in looking at these families and these places on the blogs that I now follow I realized at that moment something is being created. something that will last "forever". At that moment I was let into a strangers world and they shared their happiness or sorrow or peace with me. That is why I love photography so much. There is a beingness that you have. an in the moment clarity to capture just the right story to share with the world or maybe just your neighbor when they come into your home.
