snapshot: friendsgiving 2014.

I always promise myself that I'll take lots of photos. I charge my camera, I adjust its settings, and I even put the it in a conspicuous place so that I will look at it often and remember to capture moments.

You're looking at two of the only acceptable photos I took on Thanksgiving Friendsgiving Day. 

You can have the best of intentions with cameras, you really can. But sometimes, you're just busy doing other things - like making memories with new friends, and eating delicious food, and playing board games - to stop and pause for the click of the camera. 

And though those reasons are justifiable, I am hoping, in this new year - 2015 - to pick my camera up more often. Because I've found that stopping to capture those moments doesn't detract from the living of them - it only serves to imprint them more firmly in my memory. It lets me carry those memories more concretely around with me - it reminds me to take even more joy. And then it allows me to share them with others, here.

And that is a beautiful thing indeed.

Here's to 2015. Here's to more photos.

When my parents gifted Justin & me with a DSLR for Christmas 2012, I knew it was going to be the birth of a photo-taking craze for us. And it was. Now, whenever we travel, we are toting our camera around, capturing moments, capturing each other in action, & just generally viewing things in a different way through the lens.

The more photos I took, the more I wanted to share them on my blog; however, I wasn't a fan of how cluttered siddathornton felt when I shared photo posts. I wanted to be able to put up photos whenever I felt the urge, without dealing with the slight anxiety it caused me. (Dramatic, I know.)

So, what can you expect  to find on Sidda Snaps? Well, mainly snapshot posts, chronicling our travels. But I also want to post photo diaries (highly inspired by Afternoons and Coffeespoons). We'll see how this space pans out. All I know, is that I'm excited about it.

As I said before, this isn't the only place you can find me. Please feel free to browse around the entire siddathornton network!
