Photo of the Day: Aubrey (flying)

Thanksgiving day, 2009. I was in the right place at the right time, taking pictures of something else, when I saw this about to happen. I practically dove into position, snapping the picture in motion. It's great to have a camera that can keep up!

Thanksgiving day, 2009. The best photographs of children are often captured in the split second before they realize they're being photographed!

the soul in man is not an organ, but animates and exercises all the organs; is not a function, like the power of memory, of calculation, of comparison, but uses these as hands and feet; is not a faculty, but a light; is not the intellect or the will, but the master of the intellect and the will; is the background of our being, in which they lie, — an immensity not possessed and that cannot be possessed. From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things, and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
