I Follow the Light

Welcome. I have designed this blog for the purpose of sharing my adventures, discoveries and quest for learning.

I want to share my knowledge and give back to the community that has been my life, for as long as I can remember.

I'm not only a photographer, an artist, a human being, but a follower of light. In photography, we strive to capture one thing, light. The trick is to observe, know, and feel the light.

Beauty is in the light, and that is what Photography is to me.

I welcome you to come along on my journey.

My Inspiration


Today's entry will be a short one, but, nonetheless, very important. 

I've been asked where I get my inspiration from?  How do I put that into words?  It's not tangible. It's not really something I can describe easily. But it is is something so very powerful and impactful to me.  

What it is, is watching a fellow photographer discover his/her own creative impact on the world. 

It's watching the "light bulb" turn on when one never knew the light existed.  

It's hearing about fellow photographers success and accomplishments when they never believed themselves worthy of accolades. 

It is hearing the excitement in one's voice when they finally get that what they have to offer is worth listening to. 

That's where I get my inspiration.  For everyone who has allowed me to contribute in one way or another, THANK YOU,  YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION.

Thanks Denise. I love shooting Gulls too. They are fun to watch, and have such sweet personalities, if you take the time to observe their behaviors.
