I DON'T KNOW IF ITS BECAUSE I AM AN ARTIST
OR BECAUSE MY DADDY WAS A PHOTOGRAPHER
BUT I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE ONE TO TAKE THE PICTURES.
IT'S WHY I HAVE OVER 25,000 PHOTOS ON MY COMPUTER.
THE LAST FEW MORNINGS, WHILE CONTEMPLATING BLOGS
I WANT TO WRITE I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH SO MANY
OF THESE PHOTOS.
THE MEMORIES, THE NOSTALGIA THAT THESE PHOTOS
BRING HAS ME ALL UP IN MY FEELINGS THE MORNINGS.
THIS MORNING, I REALIZE JUST HOW MANY IN THESE PHOTOS
ARE NO LONGER WITH US.
HOW MANY TELL A STORY THAT HAS GONE UNTOLD.
SO THIS MORNING I ADD ANOTHER THING
TO MY ALREADY LONG
NEW YEARS RESOLUTION LIST.
TO NOT ONLY TELL THE STORIES THESE PHOTOS TELL
BUT TO SHARE THEM WITH THOSE PEOPLE WHO SEE
MY LENS.
SENDING THE PHOTOS TO PEOPLE, HOPEFULLY
TO BRIGHTEN THEIR DAYS, TO SHARE WITH THEM
WHAT I SEE IN EACH OF THEM.
WHAT GOOD IS 25,000 PHOTOS IF THEY JUST STAY
IN MY CLOUD SOMEWHERE HOPING TO ONE DAY
BE DISCOVERED.
TODAY I SHARED SOME OF THESE STORIES AND PHOTOS
WITH FRIENDS I HAVE NOT SEEN IN A WHILE.
PHOTOS OF PARENTS NOW GONE HAVE BEEN SENT TO
THEIR CHILDREN.
PHOTOS I KNOW MY SIBLINGS WILL LOVE.
PHOTOS OF FRIENDS TOGETHER...
SHARING LIFE!
THIS ONE IS THE ONE I SHARE HERE TODAY.
OUR HUGHBEE NO LONGER ON THIS PLANE OF LIFE.
HE AND I SHARED SO MANY WONDERFUL TIMES,
FROM GOING TO OLD PLANTATION HOMES,
TO JUST MUGGING FOR THE CAMERA,
THERE ARE MANY PHOTOS OF US.
TAKE THE PHOTOS FRIENDS,
BUT ALSO, SHARE THEM FOR THE WORLD TO SEE.
