I was always horrible at remembering to take pictures at events, gatherings, holidays, you name it. I much preferred to be fully present in the moment, immersing myself in the experience rather than constantly hiding behind a camera lens. However, as the sands of time continue to slip through my fingers, so too do the precious memories that were once so vivid. Now, realizing the importance of these moments, I strive to capture slices of time through the lens of a camera. In doing so, I have discovered that photography is an art that transcends the simple act of "clicking" a button. It is a profound way to freeze time, encapsulate emotions, and tell stories that words alone cannot convey. Each click of the shutter captures not just an image, but a fragment of history that can be revisited and cherished in the years to come.
