‘Essentially, what photography is, is life lit up.’
This is what photography means according to Sam Abell, a National Geographic photographer, Canon Ambassador and Explorer of Light.
Essentially, I agree with him.

My Photography Journey…
B&W Beginnings
My first efforts in B&W were records of what I saw. It seemed simpler to photograph events as they were because it was the ‘truth’ in black and white.
Life is Textured
Then I started to realize life wasn’t always ‘black and white”. I started to experiment with textures and it added an artistic touch. Life wasn’t so harsh.
Abstracts? Yes!
Now, I enjoy using motion, light and patterns to create abstract images. These images are made intentionally to represent what I felt. Life is a journey.
I found a meme that said “I shop therefore I am”.
And thought that is so me!
Then, my life changed to “I photograph, therefore I am”.
I created a photography meetup group and joined life again.
Next, my life changed to “I am here, therefore I am”.
Took me a while to realize that just the act of ‘being’ brings value.
Now, “I am me, therefore I am”.
