I love our Christmas tree. Yes, it's fake, but it is truly lovely. Every year I snap photos like crazy trying to capture the glow, the lights, the way the sun kisses each ornament when it showers the tree with sunlight in the morning. I lay on the floor and shoot up...hoping to catch the moment that the Christmas lights cast a glow on the fairy ornaments face. I turn off the flash,thinking that will help me capture what my eye is seeing and then turn it back on when I realize the shot is quite right. Perhaps what is happening is that my eye sees what is in my heart when I look at the tree and ornaments...the magic, the emotion the holiday brings and the tradition, and my camera only catches what is there for everyone to see....a beautiful tree and nothing more.
