A moment captured

I was just looking at some photos on a blog I follow and was just blown away by the amazing shots. It got me thinking about my photos. If you've ever looked at my Flickr site, I take a lot of photos. I think the reason I take a lot of photos is to try to capture the moment. When I look at the photo, it reminds me of my time there. Most of my photos aren't anything special, I won't be selling many prints. But they are valuable to me for the moment they take me back to.

Some photos do manage to capture the magic of the place. Certainly not as good as being there, but still able to stir something in the heart. This photo is one that I'm still impressed with (especially since it's a panoramic)


If you want to see some other killer photos, head over to http://therangelife.blogspot.com/ They have been having kayak photo competitions, some great photographers pulling out their best stuff. Some amazing photos. Look past the lunacy of the paddlers, look at the beauty of the world God created. I'd love to have an HD TV simply to be able to better appreciate my kayaking videos. The porn isn't just the kayak stuff, the scenery is incredible. And there's no easy tourist path to these places either.
