It seems this blog has been taken over by photography as of late!  A pursuit that seems, for the moment, all consuming… with the thought of a new Lucrezio album somewhere on the horizon.  Although until that time, this new art ensues with both thrills and challenges.  The biggest challenge being that of myself.  How easy to look at the work of experienced photographers and long for such talent.  Art, whether it be that of capturing words through song or capturing love through photographs, beautifully sparks the “more” that we were made for.  Creation begs for sights of wonder, a response of awe, and a prick at depth.  Giving art such a weight when you can only offer up the work of an amateur is a rather desperate feeling.  It means having to start at the beginning.  Pursuing artistry is exhausting… at least for me.

My heart in this session was to capture the love of this family, and the adventurous curiosity of childhood.  I would love to capture that essence in every family session, and though I could constantly compare myself to photographers far more capable in that quest, using their work as a reason to not move forward, this is where I have to decide if feeling comfortable with where I am at is better than feeling challenged with where I am going.  Today, I’m choosing the latter, and today I’m feeling incredibly thankful for this special family that entered my hearts long before entering my camera.  Here are a few favorites :)
