Having grown up in another country, the concept of Thanksgiving as a holiday is a fairly new concept to me. True, we have always had Christmas and New Year to give thanks, but not one to solely focus on the concept of gratitude. It is a wonderful wonderful holiday – asking us to take the time to take stock of our lives and look at the positive things and be thankful for what we have.
I am thankful for my parents who have provided me constant guidance and love, and especially my mom who has been a rock through the years. I am thankful for my sisters, wonderful persons who now has their turn to be wonderful moms to their families.
I am thankful for having a relatively comfortable life, with enough leeway for my (expensive) hobby, for having a roof over our heads, food on our table, a bed and blanket to sleep on.
But I am most thankful for my wife and my two daughters, without whom I wouldn’t have realized what life really is. They give me a reason for being, and the love I receive from them (especially the two girls) sometimes feel so unfair to be received by one humble man.
Happy thanksgiving everyone!
One quick afternoon drive, and I decided to bring along my Pen and revisit my favorite in-camera filter, the Grainy BW.
Images below were shot with the E-PL1 and the Panasonic 20mm.
And here, third time's the charm:
Fall is almost past its peak here in our area, but I love the splashes of red everywhere. Outside our house there’s this fiery red tree, and having grown up with only two seasons (rainy and uber-summer) I can’t help but always be awed by it whenever I see it. I’ve tried capturing its intense beauty, and here’s my best effort.
I love this looking up thing - it presents me with a very nice, very different perspective on things. I just might do it more often on some of our trips. :)
