And thus it begins…

As I add more and more photo blogs to my reader, it occurred to me that I might start my own, if for no other reason than not to appear like some anonymous pervert when commenting on others. I am notoriously bad at keeping up with projects like this and the internet is littered with bits and pieces of previously abandoned forays but we’ll see.

I’m not currently a professional, mostly just an obsessive amateur.  I do have a day job which is entirely unrelated to photography and mainly involves sitting in a cube farm but I do at least have the added benefit of a window cube (complete with highway view). I’ve been working some with a local nonprofit, taking lots of children photos which I am loving, and I’ve been heavily involved in area camera clubs for the past two years.

The title of the blog comes from a quote by Ryszard Kapuscinski, “I managed to stop for a fraction of a second this eternally fleeting life and show the image to others.”  That very well summarizes by personal goals in photography…to stop for a fraction of a second this eternally fleeting life.

Here we go.
