slowing down

I know it's true; that slowing down life is better than constantly going.  But the actual doing it - that's harder than the knowing.  I have less than a year to spend as much time in this place and with these people as possible.  And the only way I've learned how to do that is slow down and take it all in.  My sisters and I went on a hike on the first day of Fall Break, and it was good to do something other than school.  With senior year classes and the fall busyness of photography, there hasn't been much time to slow down.  But the rest of October holds some (crazy awesome!) exciting things, and I intend to enjoy all of it to the fullest.  And as a photographer, the best way for me to remember and enjoy moments is to take photos of them, so there will be much more to come!
