Finding our light. Our fire. What makes us passionate and feel good? What makes me want for more? What makes our day better? What makes me love what I do? What brought me back to why I started this "photography thing that I love to so do".April 2nd, 2009. The first workshop I attended in Chicago with yours truly, the infamous Joe Buissink. A wonderful man, a wonderous photographer himself who reminded me that I just need to be, well, me!
Seems rather simple, doesn't it? I started photography as a "business" because I loved capturing those moments when people were just being people. I am one of the lucky ones because I get paid for documenting memories. We all tend to get caught up in this thing we call life. In a faltering economy and competing photographers, I was reminded that it wasn't who was better or faster. But it was about if you brought your fire, your passion, your ever present self with you when you shot. I was quickly reminded to pause, look around, and bring photography back to it's basic. I was reminded of my own fire within. Thank you to Joe. For he is simply one of complete humbleness and inspiration!
Below are a few pics from that workshop.
