To See...

Now that the Makahiki season is here and will officially start this weekend, it is a great time to get outside and "see" our environment. It is alive with wind, waves, rain, gushing rivers, and flourishing plants. Take some time to be in it and experience it.

My new way to "see" is through photography. I'm not very good at it but I want to get better. I am finding that through photography I am slowing down, I am looking more closely at things, I'm thinking about light and balance, and I'm taking the time to go outside. These are all good things to do in my busy life.

As one of my photography teachers said, "it is a good way to get to know your home." I plan to do that.
