What is it really?
It's a moment.
So when I saw that this week's You Capture theme was MOMENTS, I was all, okay. Yeah. But ALL photographs are moments.
But as I thought more about it, of course I realized that some photographs tell the story of a moment better than others.
And that's what makes a photograph captivating for me.
The story of a moment.
I have to be honest. I did not keep this theme in my mind all week as I picked up my camera to photograph. I didn't really have the brain space to do it. We spent the weekend at Disneyland and wow, talk about over-stimulation.
But in between the chaos of all of the typical Disney-posed shots with characters, there were moments that I will remember forever.

As we waited in line to meet the fairies at Pixie Hollow, there was a stream of water shooting over the path where we stood. The kids started anticipating the water coming and splashing them. And I could not get enough of the moment when the water hit.

These two of Claire were taken just a split moment apart.
And at Disney Playhouse Live, my little boy's outstretched arms hoping to catch some
bubbles just makes my heart burst with love.

I got teary at little man and the bubbles. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteWhen do we lose that unabashed joy?
Speaking for myself, of course :-)
Oh how your family of three makes me want another! Curse you woman.
The non-character moments are usually the best! The bubble photo is a wonderful capture of childhood and the joys of simplicity! Thanks for sharing.

That bubble shot is amazing - and the related text is heartwarming. 14 years ago, we took our boys to The Big Red Boat and then DisneyWorld. All I can say is, digital cameras make a WORLD of difference in our lives now - that we don't really realize, yet.
ReplyDeleteThank you - for sharing yours.
Beautiful moments to capture. You did so good!!!
ReplyDeleteOh the cute cutie cute.
