It allows me to capture a true moment in time full of individuality and presence. And to know that it came from me.

My favorite art is photographs in the moment. Things that reach out and touch me either making me pull out my camera or just appear from no where while looking for shots. What makes it my favorite is that you never truly realize what you have until post processing and the pictures come to life. Expressions well pronounced with a sense of flow.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everyday life happening around me. It was not long ago i looked at inspiration as something you must search for and attempt to hold onto as tight as possible. Most times inspiration finds me where ever i am at. I guess they are right “that once you stop seeking that what you seek seeks you”.
What would you do with $25,000?What will i do with twenty-five thousand dollars. Pay some back taxes to stay out of prison. Continue to explore what a good life that i am blessed with. I am certain the money can go a long way opening doors of opportunity that seem unreachable without. Last but not least some camera accessories to maintain my equipment.
