They're happening all day, every day...glimpses of perfection.
The serene sparkle of the sun off of calm waters, the sweet "good morning" look your pooch gives you as he rests his head on the edge of the bed, or and edgy over-the-shoulder glance shot at you from a stranger. I see these moments and all I can think is "Dang! I wish I would have caught that with my camera!".
I am a self-taught photographer. What I know is what I have learned from articles, books, or good ol' fashioned trial and error. I will never claim to be a "professional photographer", I learn and grow in my skill and passion everyday.
Being behind the lens of a camera allows me to see the world differently. I can take a step back and enjoy this world the way God created it. I can bask in the imperfections as well as the glorious beauty of it all. It's not the money or glamor that attracts me to this industry, it's much more personal than that for me. I am most pleased with myself when I have one of those "Ah ha!" moments, where I've not only witnessed a moment of pure perfection, but I've actually managed to capture a photograph of it.
It's a chase, to preserve a perfect moment. It's what I do (or at least try to do) and it's what I LOVE.
