There's a saying I love that says "if you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life " ... do you know how that feels? Are you perchance one of the few people who experiences this on a daily basis? If you are, you are so lucky.
For me, each time I take photos of people for a reason, when there's a purpose to why I'm doing it, I initially pain over whether I'm good or if I'm going to mess up .. but once I start taking the pics and figure out the vibe, I just get on and do it. When I leave - I feel such amazing deep contentment in my soul ... if you do what you love, you'll know what I mean.
Tonight I got to experience that feeling once again. Its so incredible for me that I usually find myself in tears. They're tears of joy and elation. I'll replay the moments in my mind ... savouring the people, their features, their faces. I love when I catch someone who is hiding from the camera unaware. I'm mastering my 'sneak up' skill ... lol.
I'll share photos soon on www.simplysassy.co.za/blog of the little man who turned 1 today and I photographed.
Hope your day was awesome ... I took a much needed day to take care of a few personal things - it was just what my soul needed after how last week ended.
Well friends, I'm bushed ... catch you when the sun rises.
Hey little sister, I get what you mean. I get that feeling when I deliver a scrap book to someone and I see the look on their face as they really "see" their photos.
