She had only been here a week, and she had already snapped thousands of photographs. Everywhere she turned, there was something to be captured. She should have expected this. back home in Tennessee, she had found countless things to photograph in a town that didnt have very much to offer. So, now that she was immersed in a place filled in a place with such incredible beauty, she was going a bit crazy. In fact, she was beginning to think that she might never get over the beauty of the city.
Photography had always been the girl's passion. In her life, she had often been overlooked by people. She was never the star of attention, and that was what had started it all. When she was given a camera on her birthday, she began to take random pictures of anything and everything. It was a picture she took of a very small delicate flower, that sparked her passion. The small flower was simple, completely white. It looked as though it fell from its original place, and was near the end of its life. The small flower was something that most people would overlook, but in the picture Peyton had snapped, it was impossible to miss. The lighting was just perfect, and it made the flower look exceptionally beautiful. When looking at the picture, one was forced to wonder how they missed such a beautiful site.
And that had been the moment where Peyton decided to make the unnoticeable things, noticeable. Her photography became about showing a different side to things than normal. It was a way for her to express herself. A way to show the world how she saw things, as opposed to the traditional way of thinking. Photography gave her power. After all, time is never slowing down, ever. But, with a camera in her hand, Peyton could choose a moment to freeze in time, to live on forever. And that was a feeling that Peyton adored.
Her feet were a bit sore from walking around the city all day, but she wasnt letting it bother her.. too much, anyway. Her hair was its natural curl, but had fallen down a bit since the beginning of the day. Snapping a pictuer of a older couple sitting on a bench, a simple, genuine smile flashed over her face. She liked photographing loving couples the most. It was a beautiful sight;the feeling of being in love.
Taking in the sights around her once more, she let out a sigh, happy with today's photographs. She approached a beach and snapped a couple photographs. This would also be a nice place to take a break, and relax.
