At some point even the memory of a colorful summer sunset will fade to black and white. That's okay though, because black and white is the perfect canvas for imagination to take hold. . . . #sunset #sun #night #nightfall #oranges #pinks #reds #dslr #dslrphotography #writersofinstagram #writingprompts #writerscommunity #writersofig #writerslife #written #instawriters #spilledink #creativewriting #memories #summer #summernights #summersunset #summerdays #blackandwhite

I miss this reflection. An abandoned barn standing for a hundred years? Some day soon someone will not be able to stand in front of it and reflect on their life. . . . #reflection #mirror #barn #abandonedplaces #oldthings #sunset #blackandwhite #abondonedbuildings #dslr #nikon #dslrphotography #existentialism #forest #trees #road #signpost #optimism #reflections #thoughtoftheday💭

Stories are found even in the smallest aspects of everyday life. When we decided we were going to be living in our apartment for another year, we figured it was time to do some redecorating. Online, we found a coat rack that Nikki was going to use to display her purses and other hangable items. Figuring it was probably quite compact due to its modest price, we assembled it to find it was taller than Matt... and he's over six and a half feet tall! You can choose one of two morals to this story. 1) Be careful what you wish for, or 2) be careful to check the size dimensions when shopping online. . . . #apartment #coatrack #amazon #tall #becarefulwhatyouwishfor #onlineshopping #redecorating #remodeling #everydaylife #toomuch #goodthing

Photo cameras are OP. They can take anything in life, from the most aesthetically pleasing sunrise to the most war-torn battlefield, they ensure images that you can't take your eyes off. . . . #nikon #dslr #camera #everydaylife #lighting #blackandwhite #brightness #op #bookshelf #angles #lens #lensflare #perspectives
