I know I have said this before, but this time I really mean it: this was the hardest prompt for me to choose! This prompt asked for you to find a picture of a loved one that is your favorite from Facebook, and that was a hard task for me--as I have MANY favorite pictures from Facebook of my loved ones! I decided to narrow it down to Matt--which was not narrowing it down that much, considering he has hundreds upon hundreds of pictures on Facebook, mostly thanks to camera happy me. Although one may think it would be frustrating looking through all of the Facebook pictures of Matt to pick out a favorite, but it was fun for me. I am quite a nostalgic person, so looking through old pictures brings back floods of memories and its nice to remember "oh yeah that was fun when we first went to that restaurnt, etc.". It also teaches you to live in the moment, and not take anything for granted, because a special day, trip, occasion, etc. only lasts for a few hours, days, etc. so one should enjoy it and make the most out of it!
I decided to choose a picture of Matt on Pine Lake which is in Northern Wisconsin where my family is from, at my Aunt Anna's family's cottage. This picture was taken July 4th 2009 on our annual trip Up North, and Matt came up with us again for the second time. This was also a few days after I got my first DSLR camera, the Nikon D60, and I spent most of this vacation experimenting with my new camera and trying to figure it out. I remember I was taking pictures of Matt on the pier on Pine Lake during Sunset, and I was messing around with different settings, and I took a picture of Matt where he was silhoutted against the sunset, and I was in shock and was happy that I took a picture like that--and it gave me confidence to try new settings on my camera and try to be a better photographer each and every day--and that is still my mission.
