Memory

I think one of my favorite times was during Christmas break in school a few years ago, and I had plenty of film to shoot. It was snowing, possibly New Year's Eve, and I took my tripod outside to shoot a photo of my neighbor's tree silhouetted against the dark, opal sky.

I'll never forget the absolute silence, how alone I felt, how at peace I felt with everything, just waiting for the shutter on my camera to close...

Sometimes I miss the silence.
