This is intended to be a space to post my photography. This will be a space for my more artsy photos, somewhere to save and share images that I enjoy.
I have often enjoyed taking pictures, especially in recent years. Now that I have my own SRL camera I have begun taking photos even more. For me photography is wonderful because it can capture small glimpses of life. Moments, memories, and emotions are often held in suspense as a camera clicks. Photography also has the capacity to capture extraordinary sights to be remembered and shared. An artist can use a photo to show something in a new way, encouraging viewers to look at the people, places, and objects within our lives differently.
I find that in my photography I am often looking more closely at the world around me. I enjoy taking pictures very close up, making simple things more beautiful by highlighting the colors and textures. Most often my photos are of flowers and landscapes, but I have dabbled in plenty of other things. I also enjoy taking pictures that center around a theme, tell a story, or give insight into a way of life. Each post within the blog will have a collection of photographs that all have a commonality. They will likely continue to vary and pictures will be new and old. Some of the photographs will also be made into collages. My goal though, is just to share some pretty pictures so that more people can enjoy them. To show that beauty can be found in many places, and often the smallest and most simple of things hold great beauty.

Sunset Sunsations
As I sit with my camera in my lap, fuzzy blanket around my freezing feet, and tired mind wandering I find myself once again contemplating the beauty of simplicity. It might even help explain the way my brain seems to stop, Frozen just like Olaf's brain or Elsa's icy blasts.
Anyway, as I was trying to say. It just seems to get colder and colder as the sun sets, but yet I remain frozen in place taking in the moment. Snapping pictures here and there for memories, tapping my restless fingers as I can't seem to remember anything correctly, and that distracts me long enough that my brain might remember. Enjoying the pinks, blues, purples, yellows, oranges, and every other aspect of this simple moment, maybe even a magic moment cue soundtrack ;)
Loving the feel of my ice cube nose and nearly numb fingers, but hey at least that reminds me of my absolute love of skiing. Even hearing the hum of the North Carolina fishing boats brings a sense of peace as the smell of gasoline floats to my nose. The sharp bark of the family and rumble of voices that reminds me of the reality and warmth within my family home I love so much, as well as the people I love. The pleasant reminders of vacations and history, a little piece of me. The puzzle pieces falling in place and life slowly calming and seeming as it should.
Simply put beauty calms me. It can help restore a restless mind or non-stop talking. I think my favorite use of a camera is to capture a scene, moment, second. There really is so much going on behind the lens. I well and truly believe a picture is worth a thousand words.
With the true icicle feelings returning and my brain once again freezing in distraction, not from an icy cold Wendy's frosty, but from stupidity it feels like. Anyway, I'm trying and failing to leave behind my moment and enter into a new one. So if you've read thanks for reading my epiphany, maybe now you know just a little more about Krista and her love for Sunset Sensations.
