Photo Friday - The Other Side of the Lens

As you may remember, I am trying to become a better photographer (hence, Photo Friday). The best way to become better at something is to "practice, practice, practice", so I have been taking an abundance of photos lately. While looking through and editing the photographs my husband and I have been snapping, I started pondering something, something I never really thought about until now. For every photograph, there is a photographer. Simple right? For every moment caught on film, for every yawning newborn, for every beautiful sunset, for every first kiss as husband and wife, and for every last breath captured, there is someone on the other side of the lens sharing in the moment. There was somebody reveling in that beautiful sunset, it didn't just fall on blind eyes, SOMEONE was watching. There was someone adoring the brand new baby whose soulful eyes gazed straight into the camera. There were proud parents clapping, smiling and cheering while commemorating every "first" caught on film. SOMEONE was there, someone was living their life on the other side of the lens.

Here is just a breath of the moments we have been living. Enjoy.
