I like the raw moments of life that are not designed to be a tangible memory.

I have always wanted to make a living doing something I can throw myself into the way I’ve seen my father throw himself into his carpentry and make beautiful artwork out of wood or the way my husband is able to hear somebody’s idea and use fire to bond metals together and somehow create beauty out of it. Loading photos from my camera onto my computer after a photoshoot does that for me.

I guess it’s kind of like running. I will never be satisfied enough for it to be over. Once I have a bad run, I want to get back out there to feel a good run. Once I have a good run, I want to get back out there to feel more good. It can always get better, right? There will always be a chase. There will always be that buzz that I get when I think I get close to an accomplishment or getting just the right shot. It keeps me coming back.
