Lost in a Moment

During one of my shoots the other night I happened upon something that struck me to the soul.

A precious moment.

After walking for what seemed like miles to an incredible spot at the Great Salt Lake, the sun began to sink below the horizon.

The sky erupted with reds, oranges, yellows, and pinks.

Fire I tell you. Fire.

Something so beautiful that I almost forgot to breathe for a minute.

I took a few shots of my surroundings to remember the beauty that I was seeing,

but I quickly stopped and remembered something from one of my new favorite movies.

Sometimes when you come upon a beautiful moment in time you should put the camera down and live in that moment, for however fleeting it may be.

Take it all in. Breathe it in.

And after snapping four quick shots this realization hit me and that’s exactly what I did.
