chasing

I spent the last week in Wisconsin where everything that I dream of doing was reality - I got to visit with two of my biggest mentors, do a dream shoot with a dream team of photographers, lecture at a high school, and live in a cabin in the forest while all the trees were on fire with autumn color. I keep myself too busy and I work myself too hard at times, but when these life moments come together I can't help but be reminded of all the beauty in the world, and of how important it is to do whatever is possible to inspire others.

 

I photographed this image as night was falling. A fog machine was blasting in the middle of the forest and I decided to run into the fog as it was floating toward me. This was the first shot that I took, motion blur reigning, and part of me thought I should do it over again. But the other part was so satisfied...this is exactly how I feel in life right now. On the run, nothing quite in focus, yet caught in the fast-paced beauty of it all. A personal image, that is certain.
