we all have wings.

Looking past the techniques, I believe there are very important lessons that we have to teach ourselves- such as discovering what fuels our photographic fire. Trying to find that fire is not always easy. Then knowing what to do with it… Over the past few years, there have been many times that I have measured myself by others strengths, rather than my own. I would define myself based off where others were and what I thought I should be. Naturally I was left with the idea that my contributions were less than meaningful. But I was so wrong.


We can all take a generically good photo, having an image of something you find has purpose is another story. Of course I have a plethora of images that make no sense at all, and to anyone whose heartstrings aren’t attached would be quick to discard. Truth is they have meaning to me- it could be as simple as the image just means “I am getting better at this thing”. Fortunately, there is not a right or a wrong way, just an authentic way. We all have wings, and I intend to celebrate mine.

Although I am not much for nature photography and I would never knock those who are- I have to share a quote: “There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.” – Ansel Adams
