Photography As Therapy

Photography has allowed me to see the things that sometimes disappear. When we stop paying attention to the beautiful minutia in the rush of daily living. I imagine life used to be slower at one time, but now it’s up to us to focus our attention and choose #slowliving. My camera helps me to do this.

To be able to slow down and see my life from a beautiful perspective that I might not otherwise notice while I’m in the trenches of motherhood, and then later to remember it. It’s about the process and it’s different from taking pictures for instagram. With photography we are looking to capture emotion, to make art, to elicit a response

I think in this way photography is good for the soul. Not just for the memories but for the perspective shift. While I do place myself behind the camera more than in front I think they both have a similar effect. To observe, to witness the beauty of your life, especially when you might not be able to see it.
