sometimes i snap.

once upon a time around the myspace days, i discovered the world of photography through photobucket and tumblr and was instantly smitten.

soon after, all i would ever do was browse through hundreds of photos just awestruck at all the beautiful shots.

one day last week, i just had this itch to go out and just snap away. 

i fell in love with those old mailboxes.

they just stood there, rusted and old, but yet so pretty and vintage-ish. 

photography is a hobby that has let me see something ordinary and envision something beautiful and breathtaking. the possibilities of what lies behind the lens is intriguing and it's been able to open my eyes to the real beauty that is all around us.

i'm sure that's how God sees everything, with a beauty that surrounds us and just shakes His head when we refuse to see it. when we only focus on the logical or the obvious. all the while He can see the possibility in a mess, in something that would normally not be so great to look at.

i dare you. begin to see things through the lens and tell me if the world all of a sudden doesn't look that much prettier and magical.

 it's an art i would not dare take for granted.

now if i could gather all my pretty pennies for something more fancy than my old Kodak point and shoot.

what kind of photos do you enjoy?
