Time is so short. I was hired to photograph a wedding for one hour today, and the above image was created at the end of the service.
For me personally, I like to surround myself with beautiful things. Understanding and admitting this need allows me to be comfortable with the fact that I’m an artist. Indeed, it is my art that gives me the ability to surround myself with what I desire.
I know I do not create beautiful art with every click of the shutter, so to help myself get into the right frame of mind I mentally proclaim a few private affirmations which concentrate my energies at any one given moment, like a magnifying glass concentrates the rays from the sun to one point in space and time.
Placing myself in the right frame of mind, I begin to shoot for my clients with the purpose of surrounding them with beautiful imagery.
Through smiles, gasps of delight, and tears of joy I know that photography is what I was put on this Earth to do.
Time is so short, and I have so many more portraits to create. I have so much I want to share with other artists and photographers.
