Step By Step

We don't always know what's up ahead on our path. Knowing what we want and going for it is a scary proposition, especially when we can't see in the future.

Fine Art Photography is an adventure. Many times Delores and I have known where we were going to capture a shot but wouldn't know what to expect when we got there. Every time we eliminate the worry about it and welcome the adventure, it gives us more than what we would ask for.

Planning is good, and photographers have to plan but to get into too much detail and especially expectations of the outcome can stunt our ability to see. I've heard many say "when you walk around be sure to look behind you and look up because you never know what you might miss otherwise." I like to take it a step further and watch what I'm thinking about. I would suggest going with the flow and not getting wrapped up with expectations. After all, the only thing you can control, is what you think and feel about a thing.

It's not called Fine Art Photography for no reason. There is usually an unseen element in the photo that makes it really work. The more an artist can remove themselves from trying to control things, the easier seen what the universe has to offer.

Let's take it one moment at a time, being happy with peace of mind and let everything happen "Step By Step."
