THE TAKER OF THE PHOTO I am the taker of the photos. I am the receiver of the groans, the eye-rolls and 'hurry ups'. I am the one who disrupts the moments to capture them. And sometimes it's hard to be that person. But I am also the holder of the memories...l am the one who keeps the precious proof. I am the bearer of the stories, the maker of the photo books that bring tears, laughter and love rushing into the room, each time they are opened. The eye-rolls will be replaced one day with absolute all-consuming gratitude, for the image of a smiling face so missed and a memory returned home to stay. Keep disrupting life to capture it, my friends, when it's all that is left; someone somewhere will be so very glad you did.
