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 found out in October that I needed a shoulder replacement. I had this trip to Iceland scheduled for early November and my surgeon advised that I cancel the trip. Iceland had been on my bucket list for years and I just wasn't willing to give it up, so off I went. It was.a marvelous trip, everything I had hoped for. No harm was done and I had the surgery the day after I returned. Mission accomplished.
