    I Like People

    I like people. I like photography. I like putting them together. Its fun pointing a camera and lens at people and then pressing the shutter button. I like the interaction I can have with them, watching them relax as the session moves along, watching them laugh, move to create poses. If done right, its fun for all and  good images will present themselves.

    “So you’re a little weird? Work it! A little different? OWN it! Better to be a nerd than one of the herd!”

    Had some short time with my two granddaughters this past week. Grabbed a couple of improvised photos. I have no idea where they get their silliness. Must be their mothers.

    A Beautiful Woman

    The Beautiful Cynthia

    One of the perks of my job is working with awesome flight crews. This past week had an extra perk, I worked with this beautiful woman. Not only do I think she is beautiful but she offers passengers a wonderful smile, a sense of humor and a feeling of safety. I enjoyed working with you, Cynthia. And, hopefully we’ll get a chance to work together again.

    The more you read …..

    Study Time

    “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” ― Dr. Seuss

    Living near a college campus allows me to see many students sitting at a coffee shop with a cup of coffee or tea and an open book before them. We call it study time. We are all students whether working on that college degree, studying for a real estate license, self improvement, learning a second language, studying the bible or our drivers test. With a notebook and pencil we work on notes for a term paper, or highlight some paragraph or verse that’s important. On my first glance I was taken with this woman’s hands. As a photographer I wanted a photo of her beautiful hands. With her permission I took couple of photos to show off those hands and tell of someone who is reading and learning. Who knows where it will take us.

    One of the toughest things we go through as children is waiting on adults to finish their conversations or whatever they are doing that ignores us. And, this is especially true when we have so many other things to do in life such as playing frisbee, hide and seek, slaying dragons, baseball, make music with the silverware, etc.

    “Gaze into the fire, into the clouds, and as soon as the inner voices begin to speak..surrender to them. Don’t ask first whether it’s permitted, or would please your teachers or father or some god. You will ruin yourself if you do that.” – Herman Hesse

    The inner voice suggested I use the window light for a self-portrait. I listened. It felt good. I think we all need to do that more often.
