Small Moments

Today, I read an article written about a famous photographer.  As a photographer myself, I often study the work of other artists that I admire.  Seeing how other photographers capture light, mood, and tone in a photograph helps my own work.  

Last Spring, after I finished up a photo session with a client, I decided to take a little walk around and just take some photos for myself.  Just because.  In the midst of this  large, grassy, thistle filled field was a whole different world happening on a smaller scale.  Although I was surrounded on all sides by bustling suburbia, road noise, and even occasional air traffic, on this small scale no one noticed.  Just two bumble-y bees whiling away the hours going from thistle to thistle.  It was a reminder to not be so concerned with all the extra things around me, but to stop and make that memory, take that photograph before its too late.
