My breather.

Is how I’ve come to describe photography.

It is my breather. I let go of tension i didn’t know I was holding when i snap away, and when I process an image in editing that i adore, I breath another sigh, another breath i didn’t know I was holding. IMG_6449-2

IMG_6569-2Just how amazing are her eyes…IMG_6496-2IMG_6538-2 IMG_6542-3

And something written a while back, most probably when I was in my world of I-have-no-motivation:

What is beauty? Is it a face, a feature or a colour? Is it a song, a dance or a star? Is it a moment? A consuming, breath stopping, heart aching moment? They say, you’ll know it when you see it, you’ll feel it, then you’ll know. Well, you see…I’ve beat the system. I’ve figured that it’s ordinary moments, that we pass by, that we take for granted and live and breathe. It’s moments we live through each and everyday that are full of beauty, but we don’t realize til someone takes a photograph, and captures that beauty. Then you realize you’re living it. It’s all around you. You. You are beauty.

And the pictures, they are from today’s Halloween party. While we don’t celebrate it much here in Australia, we still like to dress up sometimes :) Scarier-not-so-beautiful images coming soon..

Til then, have a wonderful day where-ever you may be.

  6. Beautiful photo's and beautiful wise words...you are so right...beauty is all around us and so often we take it for granted until it's gone...or we don't see it because we are not focused...and beauty really is in the every day or otherwise insignificant things or moments. Thank you for reminding me of this!

    Happy Halloween to you and yours! XX

  20. Photography is my stress reliever. I have written a few posts about it too. Maybe I am just simple minded, but it seems that if I'm stressed, something catches my eye and I grab my camera and find a whole relaxing attitude fills me. I thank God for His creation and the peace I find in it. I love your photography.
