♥ it is more important to click with people than click the shutter.

this weekend i celebrated two important life events:

my best friend turned the big 3-0, and said goodbye to her 20's  

by throwing a roaring 20's party,  and my brother & his wife

finally threw a party to celebrate their christmas wedding.

both festivities were equally lovely- family-filled and joyous,

but on both occasions i failed to bring out my camera and

capture just how wonderful they were on film.

and while it is disappointing that i don't have 

much to show you in the way of pictures,

i must say that i am glad that i was 

present for all of those special

moments i may have missed,

had i been busy checking

shutter speed and 

depth of field.

are you a big picture-taker? 

or would you rather live in the moment?

my situation reminded me of this scene from 2 days in paris.
