A Picture Is Worth...

Olive and me, April 29, 2010, after a 60 hour labor.

This is one of my most treasured photographs.  It is a true look into one of my most intimate moments.  The expression on my face is difficult to put into words

I am positive that I have never had this look on my face before or after this moment.  I was full of so many emotions and feelings, LOVE, exhaustion, relief, pride, joy, and others that I don't have words to even describe.  When I first saw this photo I almost didn't recognize myself, it was like looking at an experience instead of picture.  So much is being said by both of us in this moment.  There are not a thousand words to write about this photograph, it is emotive, it cannot be described, it can only be experienced.

I wonder how many photos I have that actually capture a TRUE experience.  I guess I will have to do some digging and find out.
