Awestruck!

This image of my 4 boys reminds me of the need to capture images frequently throughout our lives. Not a masterpiece by any means, but definitely a “keeper” in my family album. I made this image several years ago while on a family trip. I remember as a boy myself being captivated by water fountains like this. When my four boys lined up on the steps of the fountain, I was happy to have had my camera with me to capture the moment. My oldest is now 18 and the youngest in this photo 11. I often wonder where time has slipped away to.

This photograph tells me to slow down and remember the important things in life… family! Take time to enjoy life. There is always something that needs to be done, but it can wait. Boys grow up too fast. Soon they will be independent young men with school, jobs, etc. Life will pass us by if we don’t take the time to notice.
