Easter

For Easter for our families we ended up doing something "fitting". I think the holiday is entirely too commercialized, as are most of them, but that didn't stop Matt and I from buying a huge bag  of egg-shaped Reeses peanut butter cups for ourselves. I am sure that as Ky gets older I will enjoy the commercialism more and more, my mom is already planning next year's easter egg hunt and I have to admit I think it will be fun. But for one last year we can do something a little more meaningful, spending a fortune on prints instead of candy and plastic eggs. :)

Matt took this picture of Land's End in Cabo San Lucas. I love how the light from the lighthouse illuminates the waves. It was a brilliant shot, and the setup was more difficult than you would think. It was taken in near darkness from the side of the boat as we were quickly moving away. But Matt used that to his advantage, as he somehow always does, and was able to get the shot. 

The words on the side are the words to one of my favorite songs of all time. I heard it done as a male quartet and it has been a favorite ever since. Considering the shot composition that was taken at the End of Land as the baja fades into Pacific and the Sea of Cortez... I just thought it was fitting. 

In case you can't read it here are the words:

Brightly Beams our Father's Mercy

From his lighthouse evermore,

But to us he gives the keeping 

Of the lights upon the shore.

Dark the night of sin has settled;

Loud the angry billows roar.

Eager eyes are watching, longing,

For the lights along the shore. 

Trim your feeble lamp, my brother;

Some poor sailor, tempest tossed,

Trying now to make the harbor,

In the darkness may be lost.

Let the lower lights be burning,

Send a gleam across the wave.

Some poor fainting, struggling seaman

You May Rescue, You May Save.

Happy belated Easter to all. It has been a CRAZY week, I will try to post some of our latest shoots soon.
