Last
week I mentioned that one of the reasons people take photographs is to preserve
beautiful or interesting physical images. In other words, many of my photos are
meant to transfer what my eyes see to film—or rather to a digital medium—so
that I can come back to it again and again. That’s the primary reason I took
the photo at the top of this blog, although it also reminds me of a trip to
Puerto Rico with Roland and my mother in 2004.
I
love castles, and I love lighthouses, so here are a couple of other images I
wanted to preserve. The first is Eileen Donan in Scotland and the second is
Wind Point Lighthouse in Wisconsin. These pictures also remind me of trips but,
again, I took them primarily to preserve the images my eyes enjoyed.
This
final one did not have a dual purpose. I took it simply so I could enjoy the
image.
So
if your eyes see a beautiful or interesting sight you want to preserve, take a
picture.
