On my photography course this week I am asked to take two pictures of someone, somewhere or something that you really like. This has really got me thinking. I have been trying hard to think which two things are worthy of being at the top of that list and of course which two things are good to photograph.
I thought I’d make a list here in no particular order:
- My husband. He is my best friend, my soul mate, my rock. I struggle to imagine life without him.
- My children. I am so proud of them and I am so thankful that I have had the chance to be a mother.
- My laptop. It is my link to the “outside world” and through it I can keep in touch with my friends and family.
- My camera. Lately my new hobby of photography has given me a new lease of life. Getting outside and taking photographs has opened my eyes and I notice things in a new way. A simple, boring wall can be beautiful when you take its photograph and notice the textures and light shades.
- Where I live. I am lucky to live in a truly beautiful place. Living here makes me happy.
- My church. Maybe here I’m not actually talking about the physical building (although it is beautiful) or even the people in it. My faith is what I perhaps mean.
- My bed! I love the feeling of getting into my own bed after I’ve been away for even one night. Nothing better!
- Café Modo. It is the place that has given my husband his new lease of life. He has his spark back and watching him cook, prepare menus and make plans for the future is wonderful. The mochas arent bad either!
There are more favourite things but these are the ones I could think of straight away. Look out to see which ones I photograph!
