capturing forever

January 31, 2011

Before I had the strokes I was always critical my pictures.

This one showed my double chins.

That one made my smile look weird.

Hair askew.

Zits wonky.

Roll you could see.

Then I had my strokes.

My pictures are never about my skin, food in my teeth, little imperfections.

I capture moments.

I remember love.

I come close to the feeling of hugs.

I put laughter on film.

That’s what I’ll remember long after the rest.

    Anissa, you are an inspiration!…and… a reminder to me to shut the h*ll up about the stupid little things… like not liking the way I look in pictures. You captured what it should really be all about perfectly. Thank you.

    There is a family I read about on another blog that could sure use your inspiration. I wonder if you’ve heard about them already… I’ll attach a link here. They are just at the beginning of their journey, very similar story to yours…

    What a lovely bunch of moments. They have all the necessary ingredients – laughter, hugs, friendship and a minibar. Beautiful.

    Good Lord….you are such an inspiration! I am partially crippled, and every day can seem like I’m trying to move boulders uphill in the rain. When I read all the stuff you are getting out and doing, I realize I have nothing to whine about.

    Can I just have one tenth of a half percent of you energy?

    You rock!!!

    I think all of those photos are pretty fantastic.. I’m working on the whole self-image thing this year too. Double chins be damned.

    You are beautiful. And that “I” word that only Chris is allowed to say.

    I think it is funny how I always look at photos with me in them and think how awful I look, while everyone else looks beautiful to me. I’m working on that this year – the end of self-hatred.

      I think that’s natural. I do the same thing. Can’t stand to have my picture taken.
