Begin again.

Sometimes I forget how much I love having a camera in my hands - capturing small, but beautiful moments of life with a weighty piece of metal+plastic that is embraced by my fingers and palms. I especially love when the moments I've captured are ones that usually go unnoticed, or are easily forgotten. Those are my favorite. I often find myself absorbed by those moments, even when I'm not shooting. It's the little things that sometimes mean the most.
I loved this shoot that I did with Beth because it was unplanned, and I didn't really have much of a vision for what I wanted until we pulled off the side of the road and I looked around at my surroundings. It had been a long time since I'd shot, and it took me a while to really get the feel of things again. It was a beautiful evening - a warm wind was blowing, clouds were fighting to take over the sky, and the sun fought back, shining it's beams through the cracks in between, and sometimes losing and becoming blocked all together. It made for some fantastic lighting.
Below are my favorite shots.
