Do you ever have a moment where a scene in front of you suddenly has much more meaning to you that it had moments ago? Almost as if you have to stop and pay attention because it feels so important, yet mundane.
This was one of those moments for me. The photograph was obviously taken a few months back - when the trees were still green, rather than their current winter brown nakedness. Kim and I were sitting on the couch talking about the future - ideas, dreams, goals, etc. She was soon to graduate and we were very newly married. It struck me as an important moment and I knew I needed to get a camera and save it.
The way the sun was shining on the trees outside. Our chairs, sitting on our porch. I don't fully understand what made this moment seem so worth recording to me, but when I look at this photo, I can feel that importance still. I realize I am being quite introspective, but surely I'm not alone in these feelings and moments.
I just want to remember our life, as it was and as it is. This moment is already long gone.
