I haven’t been shooting very much personal work over the past couple months. Tonight I decided to take a look through my archives. I came across these photos.
Just shy of one year ago, Jazmin and I decided to take a road trip. We packed up the car with some food and cameras and drove up north. This trip was the first time I attempted to teach Jazmin how to shoot a SLR. Since then, with a little bit of nudging from me, but mostly on her own, she’s become a quite good photographer… and has developed a strong love for my 70-200mm f/2.8L.
Sometimes I get caught up in all the details and forget about the simpler things in life like road trips, picnics, stopping on the side of the road in the middle of no where to take photos, or even just doing absolutely nothing with the one you love. I hope to make more memories like this trip with Jazmin in the not so distant future.
You’ve heard it your whole life. Those cliche little phrases. Like “don’t let life pass you by”… but when was the last time you stopped to smell the roses? …or just stopped to enjoy a quiet afternoon with good company?
