Capturing Life

I've decided in my own mind that I love people. I find such great joy in framing moments of excitement, passion, worry, laughter, confusion, or humor in a photograph. I think it's because God has given me a passion for His children, and I enjoy watching them, us. Because I see God's beauty in random little moments or places, I want others to see it too- although, of course, people rarely see what I see.

I've also decided that I might put some of my best photography up in my dorm room next year, which requires me sorting through all of the pictures I've taken and picking out the best ones, the pictures that make me smile the instant I see them or that seem to capture exactly what I understood or saw at the time it was taken. Looking through my pictures was such fun, especially considering the thousands that I have from my summer missions over the years.

But the last thing that I decided was that I would post them here. In part, I want to do this so that I can feel productive having another post. The other part is that I feel like since I want others to have a chance to see what I've seen and enjoyed, this is probably a good place for them. :)
