A Thousand Words

Photography is something that I have always loved. I love how time is captured with a single click and I am guilty for clicking away, all the time. I love looking at the world through the photographer's eye and discovering something I would never have seen. It could be the smile of an elderly woman, the tear of a child, the contrast of light and shadow on old buildings around the city.  Whatever it is, it tells a story.

Today, technology makes it easier than ever for people to capture images that intrigue them and share them with the world.  I often use my smart phone when inspiration hits and I see something that will become a part of a future story.  But I also have a real camera.  One that I use to freeze moments in my life. And yes, I still print out these shots and lovingly place them in albums.  These albums fill the nooks and crannies of my home and are there when I want to reminisce of days gone by; remembering all the people I have loved and who have passed, of my babies that aren't babies anymore and of all the wonderful places I have seen and touched my soul. 

Each of the photos I take hold meaning for me, whether it be sentimental or inspirational.  What I saw when I took them, what I heard around me, what I smelled, felt and touched - these are all my experiences.  What you see when you look at them may be very different.  

And so, as the saying goes, "every picture tells a thousand words" and I want you to share your word or words with me on any of the photos you see below.

So what do you see in these that I may have missed? 

Talk to me!  I want to hear what word or words you use to describe one or two or all of these!
