This week, I want to focus on pride. Pride, by definition, is "a feeling or deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired." Now, by that definition, I'm sure everyone has something to feel proud of. Your new precious baby, your marriage, a beautiful garden you grew, your classic 1970 Dodge Challenger, your family home, your place of business, or maybe even a family recipe that's been passed down to you. I'm sure you're wondering what pride has anything to do with my photography... would you be surprised if I said almost everything? Pride is so important to my photography, because that is what you want me to take a photo of!
Let's set an example up for you - Your adorable son in his Tee-Ball uniform, at his very first game... he smacks the tee, the ball falls to the ground... the coach and parents tell him to run to first base, and he starts running to third, the catcher doesn't know what to do and the pitcher is jumping up and down cheering him on. No one is touching that ball while the coach re-directs him the right way. He runs over, jumps square on first base, looks up and gives you the biggest smile you've ever seen, and says, "I did it!" So who is more proud, you or your son? Unfortunately, I can't answer that one for you. But here's a question I have the answer for: Who wants to forget that moment?? Answer: No one! That's just one example of how I can be there, capturing every little moment, ensuring you will never have to forget.
Big or small, new or old, simple or extravagant... having pride in something is important! So tell me, what are you proud of?
...until next time,
Smile!
