twenty~six on friday {takes my breath away}

what? no… i am not turning twenty six on friday…i’ve already done that, a while ago. this is better.  i’ve been invited to participate with a group of phenomenally talented photographers in a collective creative group project called twenty~six on friday(s).
 i don’t have to remind myself how much i love creative projects and as i’ve been so consumed with our  513{eats} magazine, i have not had the time for my own as such. so the invitation had me smiling, thrilled, and then, honestly, a bit nervous as this group of photographers are amazingly talented…
as in there will be no just getting by. this is a good thing. it will make me push myself. we should all push ourselves.
it is to be our own interpretations of a given theme. this time, it’s {takes my breath away}. so many possibilities with this one. my children came to my mind first. moments with them that have left me speechless, breathless. i think those are the hardest to capture, as they are certainly not planned and are the parts of our everyday moments. how could you know when they will happen? or even be ready with your camera. it can happen, but i have found that i’m usually living those moments as they happen so i’ll have to remember them in my mind’s eye and heart forever. so, instead of witnessing a moment that took my breath away, i created one. beauty, a rose, a gentle breeze. these are always things that take my breath away because they are pure and they are simple.
