"Picturing" My Next Lifetime

Whenever I'm with a group of friends and our conversations get deep and interesting, I always propose this question:

"If you can be any profession in your next lifetime, what would you be?"

There were some pretty good answers thrown out there like: "a world-known journalist", "a food critic", "a travel agent for music artists", "a painter", "a redwood tree" (wow?) and so forth.

My answer? A renowned photographer...a photographer that captures real life moments. Here are two of the most recognizable photos that I think captured the moment, perfectly.

"V-J Day in Times Square" By: Alfred Eisenstaedt


"Raising the Flag at Ground Zero" By: Thomas E. Franklin


A picture is definitely worth a thousands words. I must give credit to our very own photographer Keen who lurks around the dark corners to snag pictures of us at our worst yet greatest moments. Don't worry, I'm not too far behind homie. Lemme just up my camera game right quick! LOL. Hmm, so maybe I don't have to wait for my next lifetime?

PS. If YOU can be any profession in your next life-time, what would you be? ;)
