He showed<br />his vacation to his camera, which pictured it,<br />preserving it forever: the river, the trees,<br />the sky, the light, the bow of his rushing boat<br />behind which he stood with his camera<br />preserving his vacation even as he was having it<br />so that after he had had it he would still<br />have it. It would be there. With a flick<br />of a switch, there it would be. But he<br />would not be in it. He would never be in it."<br /><br />We've kinda stopped taking so many pictures and recording things, I think the twins kinda gave us an excuse for that, but I still feel guilty about it sometimes. I think about the few pictures we have of my Great-grandparents, etc, though and how precious those pictures are, but I'm pretty certain they wouldn't be MORE precious if we had more pictures.<br />kchripczukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15585289101589690551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371174833825292723.post-1718652907486344332013-12-24T20:13:10.226-05:002013-12-24T20:13:10.226-05:00Beautiful, Matt!
