I wanted to capture the preciousness of the moment so I used a black and white filter.Equipment
IPhone 4Inspiration
The hospitals social worker, scrapbooking woman said to take pictures. The doctors told us to 'Prepare for the worst, he only has a less than 5% chance of survival.' Every second of everyday was fearful for us. Barely sleeping, never eating. Everytime the SPO2 alarm started to drop we'd start to pray out loud. We were watching our only son struggle for a chance to cry or even breathe (always with tubes), all we could ever see was him blink thru a plastic box. After 11 months of songs and prayers his strength showed through and really brought hope to those who never believed hope was real. He came home.Editing
NoIn my camera bag
At this point and time I did not have my camera or camera bag with me. It wasn't a happy time for us.Feedback
Live in the moment. Nothing will speak louder than the truth. Life isn't all rainbows and sunshine. It's rough and sad at times. You just need to always show the unfiltered hope that's in every moment.
