Get To Work!

"Make Art, Not Excuses" is a personal mantra that keeps me motivated to stay creative and get things done. I take a lot of photographs on a weekly basis. Since December 2013 I have shot about 10,000+ frames on one camera alone.

 My Canon EOS 70D is my primary camera for creative projects and day to day shooting. Am proud to say that my work has gotten some nice comments from Canon.

This really made me pleased to have them say that! I have been using their cameras since I first shot film on a Canon AE-1 way back when.

 Here is another recent comment from them

When I took these images it was funny in that I wasn't really in the mood to take them. In fact, I was actually fairly sick at the time.

 There are images that you must take or you will never have that chance again. Be it for purposes of Art or family memories, never second guess yourself.

 Get out there and take that photograph! Seriously, get to work. Second chances are rare. Go Make Some Art!

Dreaming of Possibilities

New Changes in my life over the past several years. I used to plan in six month increments, now I plan in one and two year ones. It seems since moving down to Murray Ketucky that my creative work is really growing. I never thought that the subject matter of nature photography would interest me, but it is currently selling in this community. I have also finished writing a grant at the suggestion of my mentor. It was such a thought provoking process. I really put myself into the project. Am hoping it is accepted as it would fun my upcoming work and really challenge me creatively. 

I have really been all over the place over the past three years emotionally speaking. My mother died and it has really had an impact on my view of life and working towards my dreams. I have found that investing myself in the community here has really paid off. like I said above, I am really into making my work happen here. I work toward things down the road. I have met some great people down here, who have really been positive and lovely. It is those people that keep me from packing up and moving. I have made three times the amount of good work that I made while living in Chicago and suburbs. Not as many distractions and more time to really think. I miss the bustle of city life, but Chicago will always be there waiting me to visit.!

Have a great day!,
