I see

I look differently when I have a camera in my hand. On a dull, gray winter's day, I struggle to see beauty in this town. Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day and I went out with my camera and took 354 photos in a 2 hours period. Through the lens I see things differently, I look differently. I had a great time going through the town and finding visually interesting spots. Light (sun) and also the lack of light shows things in a different light. This outing reminded me that I can be very selective in how I interpret what I see, what values I choose to attach to what my eyes see. I know I have a choice every moment of the day. All I need is the will power to choose interpretations that foster positiveness, gratitude and love. Sometimes it helps to have a camera to focus.
