Thankful for photography ...

I had the great honour of being asked to take photos tonight at a Thanksgiving dinner at a local women's shelter. Some very proud young women with their beautiful babies. I have just finished uploading the photos and am overcome with emotion. For some of these women, the photos from tonight are the first photos they will have with their babies. It has reinforced my strong belief in the power of photography and my love of this medium to capture moments in time that are otherwise lost.

This is a bland test shot of the lounge room wall, as I want the mothers to be the first ones to see their photos with their precious babies.
