Celebrate Your Passion
How often do we actually stop and take time to celebrate our passions? If you are like me, it’s probably not nearly as often as you should. Personally, I am never truly satisfied with my work in photography. Don’t get me wrong I love what I do and so happy to have the ability and opportunity to shoot what I love to shoot. I’m just always looking to do better than I did the day before. I do enjoy allowing my photography to help others celebrate their passions. For the last few seasons I have used proceeds from my work with the Blue Crabs to give back to the guys in the clubhouse. I just tell them to do what ever they want to do with it. I don’t do it with any expectation of anything in return. It’s just my way of saying thank you to all of you guys for allowing me to do what I love doing. I will do some prints from time to time for myself too but I probably need to do that more often. I have an office with photos framed but most sit on the floor and a few are hung on the walls. I keep some momentos from events I have shot. Sometimes I think I get so excited about the next thing that I don’t take the time to enjoy what I have done. I guess these last few months has made me slow down and look at where I have been and think about what are the things I want to do most in my photography and start working on getting that accomplished. I don’t want to look back one day and ask myself why I didn’t try and shoot that. This is the time to take advantage of the slow down to refocus and challenge myself to reach the next level.
