What it means to be a photographer..

As a photographer I sometimes sit and contemplate what
 that means.  Yesterday at a memorial service they ran a
 slideshow of photographs of this persons life and although
 none of those photos were any photos I took, it made me
proud to know that as a profession that is what I do..
 capture history.  Little moments that when you add them all
together compile a life.  I have families that I have
documented 'growing' and I love that. I love that a bride and
groom trust me to document their lives on that day. I love it
 that a family ask me to get photos of their new baby and
 that I captured those first few days of life.  I love it when a
child is learning about the things around them.. and I can
 capture that in their eyes.  Life is good.. I cherish it.
Thanks for letting me be your historian!
