As I sit here, looking at the stunning photos displayed on my wall, I can't help but smile at the journey that led me here. It wasn't always easy, and there were times when I wanted to give up and just focus on my career, but my passion for photography kept me going.
I remember the first time I picked up a camera. It was a small point and shoot that my parents had given me as a gift, and from the moment I held it in my hands, I knew that photography was going to be a huge part of my life. I started by taking pictures of anything and everything, learning as much as I could about composition and lighting.
As I got older and my career took off, I found myself with less and less time to pursue my passion. But I never forgot about it, and whenever I could, I would take my camera out and snap a few shots. Eventually, I decided that it was time to retire and focus on what really made me happy - photography.
I started taking classes and investing in the best equipment I could find. I spent hours reading and researching, learning everything there was to know about Photoshop and Lightroom. And when drones became popular, I knew I had to add them to my arsenal.
Now, I travel the world in search of the perfect landscape photograph. From the majestic mountains to the sprawling cityscapes, I am always on the lookout for that one shot that will take my breath away. And while I may never find the perfect photo, I am constantly amazed by the beauty that surrounds me and am grateful for the opportunity to capture it through my lens.
It's been a long and winding road, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Photography has brought me so much joy and fulfillment, and I am grateful for every moment I get to spend behind the camera.
I used to occasionally play the Palmer Course in San Antonio. I remembered this hole with a big tree on an island and always thought it would be a great photo. I finally decided to go out and find it at sunrise. I woke up at 4:30 and headed over to the area I thought would get me close to the hole. The course is closed and being turned into a housing development but now is just vacant land. I hiked through the dark with my coal miners light blazing a path. I found it! Then it was just wait to see if the fog would clear and let the sun shine through. Here is the result and yes, the sun did shine through.
