A lot has been going on…

I can remember so vividly when I got my calling to photography, I truly remember like it was yesterday. I picked up this Canon point and shoot camera and the rest is history. I would take that camera everywhere that I went, to the grocery store, the mall, out on a hike. it really didn’t matter where I was going I just grabbed it and said to myself that “You are going to find something today that brings you enough joy that you want to capture the moment.” I was called to it, my soul felt at peace when I had that camera was in my hand. Fast forward ten plus years and I still have that peace when I pick up a camera. My mind, body and soul crave the journey of somewhere new, somewhere I can make a photo and remember the feeling and the time that the photo was made. I love it with all of my heart and even though life throws some curve balls here and there and for a moment you may not pick up a camera because of work getting in the way or relationships becoming a priority, when you pick that camera up again that same feeling comes back to you. the same love, peace, joy and happiness corses through your veins and you feel at home. I have learned a lot over the years and one thing that has always stood out is if you keep moving forward and becoming 1% better everyday you are going to be able to show people some great work that you do. You will be able to publish that beautiful moment you captured and people are going to feel what you feel and enjoy it just as much as you did while taking it. Never give up on your calling and never let it go. Persevere, work hard and make it happen for you because you want it.
