One thing that I have been noticing since I "retired" from the position of Photo Editor, is the beauty in photos that may not tell stories.
Its refreshing to just take photos, instead of having to get the photo and tell the story. Though all photos tell a story, whether it is a sky, clearing from an afternoon rainstorm or a simple blade of grass. All photographs capture a moment that will never occur again. The ability to freeze a moment, happy or sad, has always been what I love most about photography. A simple summer evening where a group of old friends gather on a mediocre football field play till there is barely any light to see the ball. Summer is a time that I always hold dear to me, where everyone lightens up and just enjoys the moment they are experiencing.
