So my wife always tells me that I don't do a good job of capturing moments. I don't take enough pictures. I don't take enough video. As usual, she is right. I'm the first one to admit that, when it comes to photography, I'd rather wait for "just the right artsy" composition to come along than to snap away at everything in between.
I tried this whole blogging thing once before - I kept a blog about my flying adventures. What I eventually found was that I was having a hard time coming up with material; flying was actually pretty boring (which is EXACTLY how I like it, but that's a topic for another time...). Eventually I let the blog go altogether, although it is sneaking around here somewhere. Recently (yesterday), I was struck with the realization that I had the best subject matter right under my nose: my three beautiful girls.
I am a member of a pretty cool online aviation community. A year ago, another member was lost to a tragic plane crash. He left behind a lovely wife and two beautiful daughters. As we approach the one year anniversary of the accident, the blog that he and his wife kept was passed around the website. The circumstances hit very close to home for me, which make it even more difficult to read through. But what struck me the most is the beauty and grace of their life, all of it captured in this blog (and the strength with which she continues the blog.)
Life is but a series of moments strung together to form but one longer moment within the "big picture". These moments do not last long, nor does our opportunity to experience them here on this earth. This is my attempt to capture some of our moments, and share them with the world....
