My favorite photos are always the ones I didn’t take.
The ones where I was merely holding the camera
while Mother Nature gracefully set the stage,
God placed the people right where they belonged
and a quiet breath of inspiration
rushed into my lungs,
danced around my heart,
lifted the camera to my eyes,
and whispered
wait. wait. wait.
now.



p.s. the dictionary says photokinesis
is “movement or activity induced by light.”
so our definitions are pretty much the same;
mine just has more words.
