Snapshots Are Pictures Too
Jun 24th, 2009 by jeremy
This last weekend we traveled to Idaho Falls to have a funeral for my mom. It is always an emotional time to lose a family member, especially a parent. That said, we had a wonderful weekend visiting with family, which is something my mom always loved for us to do.
She was buried in the Ammon, ID cemetery next to her parents. We took a few minutes to visit the Idaho Falls and of course snap a few photos.
This is one of the “snapshot” photos I took. I always smile when I realize I am taking the typical touristy snapshot, yet we have to take them, right? I do try to wander around and find different ways to capture the same scene different than the next photographer, but I do try to get the”typical” shot as well.
I’ve been neglecting blogging, posting and even photography for a bit. Frankly I was burnt out. That happens every so often though, and I find a little time off can be a good thing. I really am trying to work up the motivation to launch a more focused photography blog and likely shutter this one. I’ll keep up the old posts though either here or on the new site.
On another note, my sister-in-law wrote up a nice tribute to my mom over on her site.
Gorgeous photo Jeremy! You captured the true beauty of something we too often take for granted.
<<>>My deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother…..
Snapshot?
This is a great photo. I love the clouds. Altogether a great composition. I’m actually headed to IF next weekend and am hoping the weather works in my favor so that I can attempt a similar shot.
