30 Days of Sharing - Nine
Day 09 → A photo you took
I'm really not much of a photographer. I have a camera (one of several gifts from my parents upon my graduation from Hums last year), but I don't use it as often as I should. It's a vicious cycle - I don't love most of the pictures that I take, so I don't practice, so the pictures I do take don't improve. I also don't love being in pictures. More often than not, I'm standing beside the photographer (usually my Dad), telling him exactly what to take a picture of.
I was reasonably proud with how this picture I took turned out, though.
It's from my trip last year, with my Dad, to visit his family in northwestern Ontario. We had flown there, spent a few days with his brothers and their families, then drove down to Wisconsin for a larger get-together with all of his siblings and their families, and then back up to Canada for a few more days. On our last night in town, my uncle took all of us in his boat to a restaurant across the border.
This picture was taken after dinner, as we were making our way back to the marina after a detour to see the mermaid. It was going to be the last time out on the water for that vacation, so it was the first of many goodbyes for me, as silly as that sounds. I was really trying to capture the essence of this place for me, and the lake is a huge part of that. I really wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, given the fact that the boat was moving, but I was pleased. My one disappointment was that Sunset Country didn't deliver for me that night!
