Kindness in Less Than A Minute

"Every photo you take communicates something about a moment in time -- a brief slice of time of where you were, who you were with, and what you were doing."
― Kevin Systrom (co-founder of Instagram)

I love photos.  Especially family photos.  However, as I am nearly always the person behind the camera, I am not in many of them.  Sometimes, I will take a photo of my husband with the children and then he will take one of me with them.  Not ideal, but better than nothing.  Yesterday on a special family outing, I had just taken one with my husband in it and I said to him, "Let me see if I can find someone to take one of all of us."  A woman walking behind us heard me and before I could ask anyone, she said, "Why don't I just do it?"  A small and simple kindness that took less than a minute, but without it, we would not have captured a treasured family moment.
