I don’t know how many of you have been keeping up with the most recent hurricane news, but so far this year, it doesn’t look to be a peaceful time in the Gulf. New Orleans (and my family) has been impacted once again by a major storm as well as the Houston area (and more of my family) and other areas around the gulf coast. Gas prices are up and there’s frustration among the entire country since hurricanes affect us all no matter where we live.
As I sit and watch the weather reports about stats and damage, it gets kind of depressing all over again so what better way to lift anyone’s spirit than to have a portrait taken? If you’ve watched the news stories on TV, you hear all the stories about how one person after another has gone in the midst of a severe storm, to retrieve their precious photos. Why, of all things you could save, does one instinctively go after their photos? It’s because that’s where all the memories are! Our photos truly represent a place in time where we once were. They represent happy times forever etched in our minds and are a constant reminder of all our loved ones, living, and those who have since left us.
Well what better way to get past an otherwise gloomy ordeal? Create more of the memories mentioned in the previous paragraph! Here are just a few “quick and dirty” pics that I shot really quickly to bring even a little happiness to an otherwise, dismal time.
