Big Trees

This past weekend, my family visited Big Trees State Park past Arnold, CA. Although rainy and wet, it was beautiful. It reminded me of a photo that I took of my son, Chase, four years earlier. It is one of may favorite photos of him. It reminds me why I am a photographer. It was a moment that will never be reproduced again in his life. He wandered off just a few feet. I raised the camera and he turned around to see his footprints in the snow. That is why I love what I do. I capture a single moment. But the memory of it will last a lifetime.
