What I've discovered is that most of the things that make life meaningful don't photograph particularly well. They're ordinary. Morning walks. Fresh sheets. Coffee with a friend. A quiet evening on the deck. A table set for family. A recipe passed down from your mother. A conversation that lingers long after dessert. The older I get, the more I'm convinced that these aren't the small things. They are the big things. We've simply been conditioned to overlook them.
