life through a takumar

Through this petite lens, I’ve frozen in time some of the warmest moments of my life; moments that once lived only with me.
Although not as often as I’d prefer, everytime the shutter on my (personal favorite) digital photo camera is depressed, my soul soars.
I've never been one to vastly share intimacies or blog; however, we're not meant to be alone in this life. What's the good in keeping these moments all to myself, under my immediate control? Did I only take them for me & my memories? Should anyone else care? At the bare minimum my friends & family might enjoy this… perhaps some strangers, bypassers, or a producer doing their fair share of snooping. Hopefully this page gives you some insight into just another piece of my pie.
Optically, they might not be perfect, certainly not all sharp; however, for this purpose, the memory of the moment is more impactful than the frame itself. Each frame keeps warm in my mind’s heart. Some are full of love, adventure, & a few are bittersweet. I adore even the memories of those I got to share my lens with, & now I welcome you into these memories.
