Birthday Reflections

As Cindy celebrated her birthday, and with 2024 right around the corner, it became a good time to reflect on the past and evaluate where we are now and where we're heading in the future.

Capturing moments through photographs is a powerful way to preserve memories for generations to come. The "magic" of capturing time in a picture lies in its ability to evoke emotions and stir our souls, even years later.

Personally, I have always been fascinated by the power of photography, and Cindy has been instrumental in nurturing this interest. She is a talented photographer herself and has been a great teacher, one who has selflessly shared all of her resources and knowledge with me.

I have learned so much from her, and in 2014, she even entrusted me to assist her in photographing a family member's wedding. Little did I know that this would but one of many events I would be covering with a camera in hand.

Photos are not just for us to look at on the day they were taken; they are tangible evidence of the moments we have lived and the stories we have created. They serve as reminders of our experiences and the people we have shared them with.

That's why I believe it's important for everyone to have their photos taken, printed, and shared. Life is too short to forget all the amazing things we have done and the memories we have created.
