Reflections on Photography.....




Hi all!

Another wonderful week!

I have been in a reflective mode this week....these two photos were taken in Tobago this past summer in a small fishing village on Castara Bay. I stayed in the village the entire time and spent big parts of my day walking the beach.

The boats they use to fish are very primitive with nets and oars. They are so rustic that they are beautiful. "Survival" and "Blessed" were hand painted on the sides of two boats in particular. They caught my eye. They summed up life for me while walking the beach. Life is all about Survival-- but how much do we really need in order to Survive vs. how much we think we need? Surviving in Lakeway, Texas is a whole different thing than surviving in a small fishing village. I am sure that the boat with Blessed on it is how the fisherman feels every time he is able to get up in the morning and go out on the bay and throw his nets out in order to survive.

Surviving in Lakeway, Texas is being able to afford the price at the gas station and feeling Blessed is not choking to death when you pay~~~~

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Lots of love to you all,
