the day that we drove away.

I didn’t believe it when they warned me that the hands of the clock would move faster than I had ever known. The summer ended, and I found myself aimlessly thinking about this one place that I went with my good friend, Aaron. We had to get away from Old Saybrook for the day, and so we drove around through tangles and tangles of narrow roads. Aaron is a photographer, and so he took along his camera, and he let me borrow his Nikon D300. It was the perfect day to go and shoot. Although I had never really done this, I felt as if my hands melted around the camera. We eventually found what would be a place that has stuck in my mind for quite some time: an old barn with cob-webbed buoys dangling from it. It was the most unique thing I had ever seen, and as soon as I did see it, I tried shooting it. Of course I felt small standing next to Aaron, as he is one of the most talented photographers I have ever met, but I felt some comfort at this barn, with this camera in my hands. One may think that this picture isn’t that all interesting, but I like it. It reminds me of a day that I fell in love with. Aaron taught me alot of photograhy, but I think I learned more about the aspect of passion. He is incredibly passionate about photography and I think that that is a beautiful thing. I’m just a beginner at this whole thing, but I hope to learn more. If you are interested in photography, check out Aaron’s website : www.aaronsnyder.net
