Dusty Moments, America's Finest Blog, is dedicated to photography and the American way of life. With each old snap shot or Kodachrome slide, a bit of the psyche of the person behind the camera is revealed, while simultaneously creating mysteries as to the true nature of the subject's story. The words within this blog are my own. Many of the photographs are mine too, but included also are the dusty moments from my parents and grandparents, as well as, junk store finds.

The Bigger Picture
There is a school of thought that says everything is predetermined, no not like the Final Destination films, I digress, so lets move on...There is a school of thought that says that everything is connected and there is a school of thought that says everything has a reason, there are no actions or moments that do not have a greater meaning in the greater scope of the universe. That is to say that this sentence has a greater meaning and that it has been considered and typed for a purpose greater than to expound on the previous sentence. This sort of thought makes it easier to deal with some of the awful things that might occur in life, and puts a nice spin on kids dying of lets say cancer. Kids dying of cancer is really lousy. Kids die of cancer because their lives were meant to inspire and enrich those that they came in contact with, it helps the grieving come to grips with the event. If you believe or are open to consider the three ideas presented above, consider the following. Photography, the good, the bad and the family snap shot, has a greater purpose than to record a memory or a moment. The process of recording and saving an image has a greater reason that we may ever be able to understand.
