MANY years ago my dad got a photography itch. He wanted to take nice professional looking photos of my brothers as they played highschool football. He went out and bough a super nice camera and lenses and jumped right in. He became the schools unofficial photographer for years; even after my brothers graduated. One thing that sparked my dads interests was capturing landscapes. He traveled around the state, and into other states to capture images. He blew them up and hung them on a wall in our basement family room. And honestly, I loved looking at them. They captured such breathtaking images of life. It was right then as I looked at the wall of photos that my own photography spark went off.
SINCE then I have kept my eye open for these same photo oppportunities. When there is a pretty sunset from our back porch I hurry and grab my daughter and have her come look with me. If there is a rainbow, I watch it until it disappears. I love the sparkles in a freshly fallen snow and twinkling stars at night. I love living in a place that gets to experience winter, spring, summer and autumn.
WHEN you stop and look around at nature it is breathtaking. I want to freeze those images. I want others to see the same things I do.
