This is something i don’t get much of these days. Alone time. I like being alone sometimes. I’m not the kind of person who needs to be surrounded by people and voices ALL the time to feel content. I’m quite happy to just potter around doing things that make me happy on my own. Which is what i did on my way home from my shoot today. The sky was blue, the sun was shining (although it was still deceptively cold) and the surroundings were beautiful. I decided to take a moment and soak them in.To just breath and not think. To pull over on the side of the road and take a break. To not rush home.
I don’t really take many photos of myself. Which is odd considering i am always banging on to my clients about how important it is to remember to record yourselves and not just your children. Due to recent personal issues i have began to realize that i am incredibly important to my children (well der…but you know what i mean). And if i dropped off the face of the earth tomorrow, them being so young, how would they really remember me? (morbid huh? LOL). Or in twenty or thirty years when i am old and wrinkled, will i want to look back at how i am now and realize how pretty (-ish..kinda…maybe…with the right angles) i am at the moment…I know it won’t last but the photos will.
When was the last time you had a photo taken of yourself? Do you have a record of how you are now? Right now? What if you don’t get around to loosing that extra weight, or getting the haircut you need, or having the mole removed that you hate before you have your portrait taken? What if you never get around to taking some photos of yourself at all? Will your children remember how you look? Now? Will you in twenty years time? Will you regret it?
Just sayin
