Friends

Toady's post is not so much about photography as it is about friendship... current friends, old friends, and friends from the past that you haven't heard from in years!

There's a very cool quote that goes something like this...

"A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself." ~author unknown~

This little quote has proven itself to be so true for me in the past couple of weeks!

Thanks to technology and websites like Facebook, Myspace, Yahoo, and Classmates, it's become easier to make new friends and find old ones. Better yet, it makes it easier for them to find you too! If you cant find them today or tomorrow... keep searching, they are bound to turn up... sometimes when you least expect it!

Reconnecting with old friends is like looking at a photo album in your mind... so many memories to share, so many things to catch up on. I have connected with quite a few friends from High School, and I cant even begin to explain the emotions that run through me when I'm talking to them. While catching up we are making more memorable moments... moments to hold in our hearts, and moments to share with family and new friends! There's nothing quite like explaining to your child what you and your friends did growing up!

I make a lot of images that are kept on digital media, or printed on fine paper and framed for hanging... but none of them can compare to the images I have captured in my mind and in my heart of wonderful childhood friends and the moments we've shared. If you've lost touch with old friends... find them! If you haven't lost touch with them... then hold them near and dear, and grow happily old together!

Thank you friend for believing in me!
