Precious Moments

As I mentioned to Amy in her post, making us search for those precious moments among old photographs is like digging into the depths of our hearts.

That is the true essence of photography! Don’t you think?

Speaking of photographs, that day there was a lot. II Photographic Encounter, where we met several of the photographic groups of my city.

How can I not remember that trip to London? It was the last trip we made with my children, then we have not met the four on vacation.

Impossible to forget that weekend I learned to skate.

More than 40 years since I got those old skates I was always afraid to use.

As you can see I put on some modern skates and all possible protections… The fear was not gone, but I was able to manage it well.

One of the good things about travel is to come back with some anecdote to tell. We always start with this… that trip with friends to Austria, when the car left us stranded in France and we were four days unable to move from Nîmes. 😉

Many good times with these friends, sharing outings, trips, meetings… We’ve barely seen each other this year, so I hope we can get together soon.

That day we went to make a Scape Room. From the left, my little son, my brother, my eldest son, my nephew, my sister-in-law and my daughter-in-law. We had a great time!

Precious moments can be joyful and painful, both feel them at the same time. As with these latest images. My mother surrounded by her grandchildren, changing those funny hats with them so I could take their pictures. They were the hardest pictures I’ve ever had to take in my life, with my heart tight and I can’t stop smiling. My mother was very ill and we all, except the little, knew that it would not last long.

I always say that I don’t like to portray people and when I look for special moments in my images, I always find people… This makes me think…
