I got the chance to go out to TX for a workshop this week both given by, and attended by, some of the most amazing photographers I have ever met. It is weeks like this past one that remind me…….. Why I became a photographer. Why I miss critique. How being surrounded by photographers with creative ideas and lots of energy can really be contagious. Be true to you in your photography……. and above all else that I am so happy with this life, honored and privileged to get to do the things I do. To live a dream I never thought possible, to make photography my full time job.

I sat on the two planes home with my headphones on and my eyes fully closed, starting to absorb all of what I learned and what I was inspired by. It’s rare you have an excuse to sit for three hours and do nothing but think. It was a fun, informative, inspirational and emotional three days……… and when I opened my eyes from going back over this amazing weekend and clearing my head this is what I opened my eyes to……… fitting.

One of the most beautiful things in the world is watching the sunset from above the clouds.
