i just finished reading the last lecture by randy pausch and just loved it. such an easy and enjoyable book to read- more like having a conversation (which is my type of book)...with so much valuable, useful, everyday applicable advice to live by. wow.
i could go on and on... but pictures like these above really remind me why pictures are so important... and he mentions something very similar to it on page 187 in his book as he is talking about emotional insurance for his kids (because he has cancer)...
"I need to spend hours making videotapes of myself with the kids, so they'll have a record of how we played and laughed. Years from now, they will be able to see the ease with which we touched each other and interacted."
this hit me. maybe as a mom. maybe as a wife. maybe as a photographer. maybe as all of those. pictures are a gift. i think it is so important to think about the gift of pictures--- and the interaction, smiles, laughter, and all those things that happen in that moment- which will never happen again exactly the same- and can be remembered for years and years to come....creating stories and building relationships... ***** (5 STARS) highly recommend the last lecture
