b&w tuesday

Today just seems like a black and white kind of day. I'm sitting at my desk, school books scattered everywhere, a cup of hot candy cane tea in front of me, and a damp, dark atmosphere outside my window. I'm counting down the days until Thanksgiving break. {just 3 left.}  These past few days have been crazy, cramming for last minute tests and projects before break, but even in the busyness, I'm feeling inspired. Maybe it's the holidays. Or my new camera. Or just the fact that I've re-focused my photography perspective. 

I know how hard it is to feel inspired when life is such a routine. Wake up. Get ready. Do school. Do homework. Babysit. Go to bed. Repeat for the next 4 days. It's so easy to look at life like this and focus so much on the big picture that all of the little details don't seem important. 

 My new camera has inspired me to capture more of the everyday. I've come to the realization that, while my life seems to be the same everyday, it's the little things that make it sweet. It's the little things that make life my life. It's the little things that make your life your life.

This is why I love photography. This is why I blog. It's my way to capture and record every moment. Whether it's a big memory, or one that will be forgotten by the next day, I want to capture them all. I want to capture my life right now. Whatever my life is at the moment is what I am going to share. I don't ever want to feel like the subjects of my pictures aren't good enough or aren't worth sharing - because they are. 

 The funny moments. The messy moments. The crazy moments. The sweet moments. This is what makes blogging and photography real, personal, and beautiful.

Be inspired by life. Your life.
