Life is Sailing

The keen perspective of those who capture incredible photos that secure a moment in time even better than what I remember seeing but somehow encapsulate all that I felt in that moment. It is breathtaking and peaceful, motion and stillness. Click, select, edit, enhance.

I and we have been blessed by the services of some talented photographers. What is it inside the minds of these people that allows them to so gracefully and unobtrusively attend to the four corners of the lens yet draw in a large piece of the world?

Details.  
Viewing the world from unique angles, 
upside down, flipped, and rotated.  
A whir of motion.  
The second of expression.  
A fleeting glance.  
The crinkled nose with almost audible laughter.  
A tender touch.  
A well worn hand.  
Grief unmatched.  
The silent strength.  
They span the depth of life with their mirrored lenses, be it film or pixels.  

Thank you, photographers, for sharing the world in photos.
