as you might suspect, i'm rarely without my camera. especially since starting the today project, it pretty much goes everywhere with me.
however, i've found that some days photographing keeps me from seeing the other side of the camera. i'm too worried about iso and white balance and shutter speed to just take life in. so the other day as i left the house at 5:40am, i experienced a little taste of freedom. i witnessed the most beautiful sunrise i think i've ever seen here. and you know what i did? i just watched it. i didn't grab my camera, i just took it in. the red, orange and leftover grays....the way the clouds changed so quickly...the way it left me thanking God for newness every morning.
and somehow, it's okay that i just have that in my memory and that i couldn't possibly have captured its full radiance through my nikon. life on the other side of the lens is pretty sweet, too.
