Taken 2008 -

So here’s to 2008. The year I learned that even when life takes from you, you can still take the shot.

I came across an old folder on my hard drive today, simply labeled: taken 2008

Here’s a short blog post based on the phrase — playing on the double meaning of taken (photographed / removed / captured). Title: Taken 2008 – A Snapshot in More Ways Than One So here’s to 2008

Yes, things were taken in 2008. But pictures were taken too. Memories were held. Small joys were captured. taken 2008

But then it hit me: “taken” can mean something else entirely.

But looking closer at those grainy digital photos from 2008 — cheap digicam, bad flash, too much grain — I see something else.
