One of the most fascinating thing to me about photography is that it can capture an image that one wouldn’t ordinarily focus on with their eyes, and then save it for them to gaze upon again and again if they wish. And if you add a zoom or telephoto lens, you are rewarded with images of things that you didn’t even know were there. Simple things for instance like this stone carving adorning the peak of a gable of an old church on the near east side. Just one small example. People have passed by the church thousands and thousands of times with probably very few even noticing it was there, let alone the intricacies of the carvings. Taking photos has helped me to appreciate and enjoy the beauty of the world I live in. I can hardly wait to see what the camera has seen after I come back from shooting photos, download them to my computer, and get them up on the screen. It’s like opening presents on Christmas morning.
