today i came across the left image in a national geographic. i had seen the image before but for some reason it resonated with me more today. to see a mother hold close to her bosom her infant child, and the father clearly sheltering and embracing his little family…
the middle image is of a mother and her two children with their hands clasped together, and the image on the right is of two adults locked in an eternal embrace. hauntingly beautiful.

it reminded me that this is what matters most in life.
love.
and as we pass from this mortal life, it is this love and our relationships that we take with us, far beyond the bodies that remain in the earth…make every second meaningful.

you say goodbye, and i say hello.
goodbye to 2009 and hello to a gazillion incredible moments recorded on film. with this collection i wanted to shy away from the typical poster shots and focus more on the genuine moments, the honesty, the love, the quirkiness and human comedy, the beauty, the places, the stories…all from 2009.
i tried to not be repetitive nor redundant in which images made this collection, therefore not all my favorite images of 2009 were included in this post because they have most likely already been featured previously.
(and of course you are more than welcome to stick around and look at the other posts that i have done throughout the year…just keep in mind the majority of ’09′s postings are found on my older blog http://www.dustontodd.blogspot.com)

many thanks to you all.
2009 was incredible because of you.
…and looking forward to making new friends and memories with you of 2010!
