Photography, Inspiration and the Voice Within
Our creative passions rise from deep within — so deep that it can take years to connect the dots — to recognize where our vision quietly aligns with past masters, movements, and moments.
Window into Winter
And here, it is felt and not seen because it is the absence of something and not the presence of it. There was no sense of time, only the low light like so many December days passed by.
Bird Photography, Wandering and Wondering
An image of a white pigeon satisfying its thirst is not bird photography in the classic sense. And like many of the photos that grow on us over time, it isn't about the primary subject but rather what it represents and how it makes us feel.

The Photography Experience
Critical to both the enjoyment and the end result of your photography is your mindset. Indeed, a client-driven photographer has to be keeping a close eye on the end result. However, if you are doing it for yourself, pay more immediate attention to how something makes you feel than how it looks on your LCD.
Photography and Solitude
We experience being alone as either solitude or loneliness. Solitude is viewed as a peaceful and positive state, while loneliness is considered bleak and empty. Solitude is sought out while loneliness is inflicted upon us. So, what does this have to do with photography? Quite a bit, it would seem — both in how and what we photograph.
