A picture speaks a thousand words, it captures moments, a second of laughter is heard within a single heartbeat of a flash.
Perhaps that is why I am always capturing something behind a lens. Perhaps it's the weighed down picture boxes that have stories behind everyone. "What happened here?" I wonder as I trace the lines of a smiling face, what's the story behind this photo.
I snap and snap, getting blurs and whirls as time passes by and I am okay with the imperfection of my movement photos, because they speak volumes. Their stories are loud and chaos in a second. The posed ones don't hold the truth of what my life is they don't really tell my story.
Only those few still shots. The ones that were taken without the knowledge of the subject, seem posed when they are not. They are the silence in the jungle cacophony of my life. They are the pause. The rest. The tilted head, the sad eyes, the mouth open in wonder.

More stories to tell. More words left to be written.
So I snap a way. Freezing time! Experiences behind a lens while still living the moment. I am always in the moment.
I am there for toes in the sand and bedtime tales. I am there for sugar coated treats and twinkle lights. The amazement of fireworks and dancing in the kitchen. I am there, living it and with these photos I can relive it again and again. I can tell the stories to those that will not remember the moments at all. And with these images, even the ones that are no more than a blurry, out of focus child in free abandon, there is always a story.
