Mindful

Mindful, a photo by midnightrook on Flickr.

This is from a couple of months ago, still one of my faves. The way the light reflects off his eye is really what gets me. I intentionally left the door to help frame the subject. The detail in the fur and face are crisp, but overall this is a soft, dreamy photo. My opinion, o'course.

Mistakes and Achieving Goals

Life is about trial and error. We make multiple mistakes in the hopes of a possible solution. In my case, my photography continues to be a series of ups and downs, as well as periods of not being able to capture interesting scenes.

With that said, I reached one of my goals of having my work featured by a photographer I admire. Steve Huff, who runs the website SteveHuffPhoto.com and has documented tours with the singer Seal, shared an article of mine on his website alongside three of my photos from a recent trip.

Needless to say, I have been almost speechless since then as this has been a great source of pride and a humbling experience as well.

Below are the three photos that were featured, and the link to my essay.
