Capturing May: A Look Back Through my Lens
May came and went in a blink, but not without leaving behind quiet stories, unexpected beauty, and fleeting moments that deserved to be paused. As I sift through the images captured in May, I can appreciate all that the month held for me including trips to Utah and (just-for-fun-non-photography) Tennessee, a bit of macro, mentoring sessions, and a commercial shoot. (Not shown here.) It was a BIG month and I’m still not quite finished with all the editing.
May has always been a month of transition. Here in Northern California, it carries the last bits of spring and the first glimpses of summer. Trees and flowers are really showing off. People linger longer outside as the days get longer and warmer. There’s a sense of something beginning, though it hasn’t fully arrived yet. There’s a clear sense of the world waking up and yet getting ready to relax at the same time.
Photography has a way of anchoring time, giving us something to return to long after the feeling has passed. Looking at these images now, I’m reminded of how important it is to slow down and notice. To capture, not just what we see, but what we feel, and to appreciate all that is around us.
