Photography, for me, is a form of expression, so when I capture moments sometimes I add narrative—whether it be a message, thoughts or feelings (this I know is not always everyone’s cup of tea… and maybe sometimes it’s more like a strong black coffee ☕). So I don’t get many followers and I’m okay with that, as it is how I tend to express myself.

But I am trying to express what I see and feel and how I see it, and there will be those who can see it too and many that may not—but it’s not why I do it (and honestly, if everyone saw things the same way, it’d be a bit boring anyway). I’ve always loved capturing moments and I’m trying to work on bettering myself in this area. I know I am still very much a beginner—or ‘rookie’ 😉—especially when I look at the work of others (some of you make it look far too easy… just a tad intimidating honestly 😄).

As much as I’ve always loved it, I didn’t know how to start, so I’m so very grateful for one person who reignited that spark in me. His love for photography just made me want to do it all over again. I haven’t named him as I’m not sure he’d want me to, but his work is absolutely amazing—just like he is (yes, if you’re reading this… this is your clue 😄). I wish you could see how I see you. At the start he gave me so much guidance and helped me begin again. He barely speaks of it now and I'm not sure that he even sees what I do anymore, but I know his gift and talent is still there in him (some passions don’t need to be loud to be strong). His captures are powerful at times and sometimes intriguing—his love for historical architecture—but also those moments where you can feel the expression in his work. Sometimes soft and beautiful, sometimes bold and strong and even at times a little quirky or different… basically the kind of work that makes you pause and go, “how did he even see that?” Something I greatly admire. He has also helped me become more open to seeing things through a different lens for which I am truly grateful.

And thank you to those who support me as well.

No doubt I feel quite small in the large array of talent and work (very small… like spotting-myself-in-a-group-photo small 😅), but I view it as an opportunity to learn from and grow.

I appreciate your support more than you know.
