Life in Macro

A rendezvous in France

2011-10-01T14:33:00.007-04:00

I'm in the process of editing photos from my recent trip to France. Here are a few photos that I've finished so far. I took about 400+ in a week and barely narrowed the album down to an essential 349 (haha)....lots more photo sharing to come! Hope you like them! :)

I wish this was my door hehe.

I want blue window shutters now!

Cassis (black currant) gelato....best flavor ever!

Everything is illuminated

Pace yourself

2011-05-06T21:07:00.006-04:00

Look at us....running around always rushed, always late. I guess that's why they call it the human race. But if we're lucky, it slows down just enough for all the pieces to fall into place and for us to realize it wasn't a race but rather our pace and grace.

Side note: I'm back from an unplanned hiatus (as usual, it seems huh)....can't believe it's been over a year! Sorry to those who wondered where I was but thank you to all those that commented even when I hadn't posted anything new. I guess that's the real reason I'm back....encouragement leads to motivation! :)

Asking questions, reaching higher

Just a moment

2009-11-18T12:36:00.006-05:00

One reason why I love photography is that I enjoy waiting for the smallest moment to reveal itself. And those moments are happening all round us, ordinary yet so extraordinary simply because they are new with each second that passes by. So I capture these moments for myself but mainly for others to share in the experience of living in the moment.....the moment of life.

The clock beckons me to rest,
relax with cool love.
Sweet sleep
calls the soul to weep
with life,
mirrored by the lost glance of beauty.
