{snowflakes} | nashville tennessee photographer

I was in a class a few weeks back that my boys school held about the importance of reading
to our kiddos.  What it does to their mind, your relationship with them..
I could go on and on about the PROS of it.  During the class the teacher showed us this one book that
definitely caught my interest.  It was about a man who spent his entire life photographing snowflakes
then putting them under the microscope to see all of their different shapes.

How wonderful & amazing.  His name was Wilson "Snowflake" Bentley.

"Under the microscope, I found that snowflakes were miracles of beauty; and it 
seemed a shame that this beauty should not be seen and appreciated by others. 
Every crystal was a masterpiece of design and no one design was ever repeated., 
When a snowflake melted, that design was forever lost. Just that much beauty was 
gone, without leaving any record behind."


Perfect example of how important it is to {leave a record of a moment, of something and
even someone in time} with photography.
