Writing a book that allows the reader to visualize adventures, experience emotions, or to dream is a talent I don't think I possess. Yet, what I can not create with words I'd like to think I can create with photography. I'm still very much an amateur but my dream is to become a successful (in my eyes) photographer.
So the book I'd create is a photography book with a collection of my favorite photos. This collection of photos would include people I love, moments I treasure, and experiences that make me love my life. I'd hope my book could inspire readers to photograph their life and celebrate the everyday things & experiences that make up their world.
I can't always express myself through language/writing. I go to something visual when I need to and I often combine words and images. This image is so so beautiful. I think the female body when pregnant is amazing. I love the shape of the belly and breasts. I have yet to see a pregnant body that did not evoke emotion and admiration. I loved my own pregnant body and wish I'd taken a photo of it. Thank you for sharing this. I think it says so much.

Great photo - so often a photo says something words can't. Nice post!

What a stunning portrait! There is something special about the jeans and necklace which adds a "personal" touch. I too wish I had a photograph of me when I was pregnant and I gained 60 lbs :-)

What a fabulous photo!! I too am curious to know if you took the photo, if you are the model, or both.
I would love to look through a book of your photos!

This image is so evocative--a perfect representation of your idea for inspiring readers "to photograph their life and celebrate the everyday things and experiences that make up their world". Beautiful...

I feel the same way. I have a photojournal that I keep, to remind me of the images that I simply cannot describe. Beautiful photo, and beautifully worded post.

"people I love ... moments I treasure" all here in this photograph. You took me back to those exciting, uncomfortable days of great anticipation. Thank you.
