New Friends

One thing I have never noticed until a couple days ago is how much I follow the people I photograph. (Not in a serial killer, or stalker way) The other day I was at a football game and one of the gentlemen that I photographed for senior pictures was playing. The game became more interesting for me just because of that person playing. It is a new friendship that was created just by taking their photographs. I now find myself reading the paper and checking in on how the local teams are doing and how the persons that I have taken photos for are doing in their school, sports, or everyday life. I can only imaging how teachers feel. I only get to spend 3 hours at max with each of these fine young adults and watching them succeed is very uplifting for me. This past year I have met some very interesting people. From future farmers and ranchers, to future politicians, and doctors. These young adults are setting themselves up for great futures. Now when they are billionaires, and Google puts up an ad asking who this person is with a guess you win a free laptop, I can say hey, I took that photo. Thanks for tuning into my blog, and stay tuned for other blogs.
