It has been a while since I've posted on this blog and if you read my last post you will know why.   I'm finally getting caught up.   Now just to get ahead a little bit.  To all of my wonderful clients, thank you for you patience and understanding.

When I started photography 10 years ago, I really started out of an interest in the technicality of photography.  Photography as a craft is highly technical: iso, focal length, f-stop, megapixels, shutter speed, flash guide numbers, megabytes, gigabytes, gigahertz, etc.   Photography for me when I began was really material for my enjoyment of the technical aspect of photography.

Every once in a while I am graced to be able to step back and look at myself in action from a more detached viewpoint and when I do so I am surprised to find myself changed.  After my shoot with Kelsey and Wade, as I was driving home, I realized that not once during the entire shoot did the technical aspects of photography entire in to my conscious.  The camera was simply an extension of my hand and eye and the manipulation of the camera was no more conscious than the manipulation of my hand to hold or eye to see.

So what?  It was again, for me, a recognition that I've changed.   I shoot now to see life.   The camera is simply my ticket to look at life and relationships and be struck again by the newness that reality always is, to be moved by gift of the circumstances which I get to see.   

Being moved is simply a reaction of my heart to seeing.
