Becoming a photographer

Ben gave me a professional camera, taught me the basics, and has me take it everywhere. The more photos I shoot, the better I get. Framing the shot comes easy, but it's the technical side I'm learning - how to get the image to turn out the way I want it to.

This photo of Ben (and my son in the background) is my latest favorite.

Closing the gap

We've all gone through periods where we distance ourselves from the ones we love. The reasons vary, but really don't matter as long has the gap closes again. And when the gap is permanently closed, it's a bit magical. I would never want there to be distance as a means to get to the magical, but it makes it easier to accept and move on. Worst possible way to achieve the best possible outcome.

I understand. I forgive. I love and love and love and love.
