Where do you find inspiration and motivation to create art? I am of two minds about artistic creation and inspiration and motivation. I have really come to believe that if you want to be someone who creates art on a regular basis, especially if you aspire to be a professional, you have to show up on a daily basis and do the work. You have to do the work of creating art…. Read More

I have always been fascinated by nature. I enjoyed the science and learning about nature. This was primarily focused on the animal world. I was even a biology major in college at one point. I loved learning about animals. This love of animals drove my love for photography. As I became interested in photography it became a means to explore my love of animals. Photography for me has always been a way… Read More

One of my favorite landscapes to photographs a re frozen waterfalls. However, the weather is not always right to create a nice scene. Sometimes it just isn’t cold enough long enough to start to freeze the water. And sometimes there is no snow. The challenge to being someone who loves photographing specific occurrences in nature like frozen waterfalls is that you have to be able to get out there to take the… Read More

For me that makes enjoying photography a little more challenging. I prefer to photograph nature, but the plain drab scenes during a winter with… Read More

Doing things that scare us is not easy. But, I would argue that it is essential for leading a life you will look back fondly on. Even if you don’t succeed at these things, you will have tested yourself. You will have gone on a journey. And you will have answered questions about yourself. You won’t look back on your life questioning yourself. You lived your life fully. For me doing things… Read More

For several years I started off a new year of blogging either talking about my past year in running and or my plans and goals in running for the year to come. I have not done that lately because I have been battling a series of minor injuries that have been preventing me from really training and striving for the types of goals I want to go after.

There are so many things to love about photography, but what I think it really comes down to for me is time. Time is always moving. We never get a second back. No replays or do overs. We can’t press pause and stop to enjoy this one thing longer than the time we have in that moment.

I support taking all the photos you can. If you want to take a photo you can take and you should take it. Take photos with whatever camera you have on hand. If you have a smart phone that has a camera then take the photo. Don’t feel like your photos are not as good because they are taken on a smart phone. What determines the beauty of a photo is not… Read More
