Yes, it's true. It's been going on a little while now and whilst I try to control myself it just seems I am going deeper and deeper. As is the case with love one tends to see things one might ordinarily miss. In fact, the ordinary has become the extraordinary. Don't worry the Fancy knows all about it. He has encouraged me in this affair and has even pursued his own. I wanted to start sharing about my new love more because it really has changed my life and maybe it's something you have considered but felt too intimidated by and well I want to be here for you and maybe some of you that have already taken the plunge and can share your two cents as well, because I need more information all the time...My new love affair has a name, it's called Photography and it's derived from the Greek word for 'light'.
I have always thought I was hyper aware of my surroundings, but I suppose I wasn't until I started this affair and now I feel like I have been given a brand new set of eyeballs. I see EVERYTHING and life, even the mundane has become magic. To me it's a gift so big that it's just as good as winning the Lotto. Who wouldn't want to see a cup of tea as something dynamic instead of another dirty dish? Or the way the light falls so perfectly in our bedroom in the late afternoons making the leaves on the tree outside our window seem to sparkle like diamonds made from sunshine? I never realized that we had cotton candy Cherry Blossom tree's that burst into bloom in January. How could I have missed something like this living in the same city almost my entire (long) life?
