Intentional

Fact: I am not always inspired to photograph.

Also fact: I am capable of creating despite my lack of inspiration.

Like any craft, the art of photography requires discipline, commitment, focus, determination. It requires taking purposeful steps in pursuing beauty.

It’s “easy” to sit on my sofa with a cup of coffee and look out my windows at the beautiful blooms. Being intentional is choosing a lens, picking up my camera, walking out the door, exploring a new technique or angle, and seeking vision.

Over the past few weeks I have done just that. A single dahlia tuber led to all of this.
