Wednesday

I've been trying to get myself started with something creative, specifically photography, since my son died coming up on 4 years. My son used to help me photograph my younger son and daughter's sports events. He would always find something going on in the crowd, or dugout, or outside of the "action" shots, which were so much more interesting. He had "the eye". But since he died, I just can't find a way to get started. This is what I needed. Thank you.
