Life is a lot like a camera...

focus on what's important,

capture the good times,

develop from the negatives,

and when things don't work out,

take another shot.

The artists posting on Flickr are a true inspiration for me. Some of the techniques I've seen here have shaped the way I look at things. I've held a camera since my younger years and have never taken a break.

That photo that hurtles me off to a setting sun in an Arizona Desert. Still another offers up a glimpse into the eyes of an Eagle. I am moved by photos depicting the human element of the silent society. People silenced by poverty and homelessness need our help and respect.

I like to think of myself as a photographer wrapped up like a retail manager. My hope is that my passion for light shines though to the viewer. I believe that photography is a game of being at the right location and time. I personally struggle with location sometimes. Some of the wonderful landscapes this world would offer can sometimes get quite costly in terms of travel. You just feel it when that soulful image halts your scrolling. I love looking at other artists ability to make my mind wonder and wander. My inspirations have been a wonderful journey.

One of My Favorite Works

When I have a camera in my hand it makes me feel as though everything is alright. Despite what might be going on in my life, there are healing powers behind the lens. For that 1/500 sec the only thing that matters is in front of the lens.

It gives me the tranquil feeling of serenity.
