“A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you”

I really interested and enjoy photography. I got serious about photography when I bought my first digital point and shoot. Before that camera, I casually photographed friends with my compact camera, but the world of digital really opened my eyes to what was possible with photography. I had this little camera that can fit in my pocket that I could take with me anywhere. Compared to film, I could take seemingly unlimited number of photos of anything that I wanted. That meant lots of photos of friends.

I remember being fascinated by my photographs of nature. I could look at a macro image of a flower and see grains of pollen and delicate details that typically went unnoticed. I could look at the photo of a rock outcropping and zoom in to see the smaller inclusions that made it sparkle. Everything was photo-worthy, new and interesting. At this point in time I enjoyed photography because it gave me the ability to capture scenes from my life to remember and study.

Here’s a flower photo that at the time, I thought was the best photo I’d ever taken.

I remember how much fun I had working with people, capturing moments and emotions, seeing the look on their faces when they saw their own portrait and actually liked what they saw. These positive experiences were so much more satisfying to me than photographing nature, I knew that my future in photograph would mostly involve people. To a large extent, this is still one of the things that I most love about photography- working with people and capturing moments and emotions so that they will not be forgotten.

What started out as a hobby eventually became a career. That small camera that fit in my pocket expended into a storage room full of backdrops, lighting equipment and rarely used gear. There a lot of reasons why I enjoyed photography so much :

It has given me the opportunity to share in people's most special moments on a regular basis.
It has introduced me to maby people who I call friends now.
Something that I can do any time, any place and all I need is my phone or camera.
Allowed me to capture moments in my own life that I don't want to forget.
Lastly, I enjoyed photography because it has caused me to fall in love with people, nature, animal and wildlife and see the world around me with fresh eyes every single day. And someties, when the mood is right, I just sit back and enjoy the moment wiyhout taking a photo.
