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.

One of my bucket list photo shoots was Arches National Park in Moab, Utah.It has been difficult to travel this year as my wife has been quite ill. She had recovered enough to attempt a trip so I chose the National Parks near Moab, Utah. While the travel was difficult for her she hung in there and we got to Moab. For this photo I got up at 4:00am and drove to Arches National Park,looking for an Arch with a view of the Milkyway. Here is what I found.
