and in this moment i am . . .

"room full of photographs
box full of letters
come on make it last
nothing else matters right now"
- foo fighters, another round.

i often find myself saying, i need to take more pictures.
pictures, as they say, are worth a thousand words.
what's weird is everytime i bring my camera somewhere with the intent of taking pictures, i always feel a little strange taking them. i'm not sure what it is. i just always feel a little out of place taking pictures. maybe that's just me.
i think i would take more if i had a film camera.
i love my digitals, but there's something that's lost. sure, you can take your pictures and get them developed, but you can still see them before. with film it was the picture you took was the picture you got. and you didn't know if it was good or bad. the picture was exactly what it was.

i hope to have enough pictures from my youth, that when i'm old and gray my kids will look at them and say "wow, you were young once" not that i plan on forgetting that fact, but it will be a nice reminder.

and if a picture says a thousand words,
take them till your words run out!
- authority zero, courage.
