"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

perfection~




one of the most essential
things you need to do for yourself
is to choose a goal that is important to you.
perfection does not exist
you can always do better
and you can always grow.
Les Brown


i see and hear and feel those words above
especially when thinking of photography

what is perfection in the eyes of one
will differ in the eyes of another

there is always so much more to learn
and what makes a good exposure means something
so different for each

photography is my saving grace

my moment

my forever learning
wanting to achieve 
what my mind and eyes perceive

not so much perfection
but capturing and creating a piece of art

perserving a fleeting moment
that i wish to long remember

Love that quote! And I love that you highlighted the word 'essential'.

it really is about creating a story, capturing a moment, seeing with new eyes.... it's so personal, so intimate and tied to who we ARE, that it can never be everyone's idea of perfection, or right, or good or beautiful.

i'm still learning - if i am just me and simply express what needs expression, i create. and that's everything.

I love working with my camera, and am forever amazed at what *I* see, and then what the camera sees.
I've often thought about upgrading to a more professional model than the one I use, but the learning curve puts me off, and I have shot SO MANY good photos with this dear friend.....
Exceptional photograph!

XXOO~~

my beliefs include many, constantly seeking knowledge, not needing one particular label that defines me nor trying to justify my thoughts to anyone else but me...this is my life and i am living it my way...bringing happiness to my inner soul.
