It’s so easy to take the gift of each day for granted.  We move through the paces of everyday living, often forgetting to revel in its beauty.  In her polaroid series, artist Marie Chantale Turgeon captures those moments of the everyday that can take our breath away, if only we take the time to notice.

There are so many things in life to distract us from our current view and often, we fall into the trap of thinking that the everyday isn’t so special.  Yet, that is what each of our lives is made up of.  Those ordinary moments, standing at the kitchen sink or sitting down for a meal, those are where we define who we are.  If we can’t see the beauty in the ordinary, how will we ever recognize the exceptional?
