I grab my camera bag and dash out the door. (Do I have everything I need?) I don't always know where I'm heading to. When I get there it's often the unexpected that catches my eye and the unplanned that works for me. I can sit for hours or hurriedly move around from location to location trying to catch the light before it's gone.

I derive my enjoyment from constantly learning about the art of photography, the world around me, and myself. I guess that's what separates an enthusiastic amateur like me from a professional.

The professional knows the subject, plans a shoot down to the last detail, and executes with precision.

My aspiration is to be a hybrid of the two.
