It was a very quiet day for wildlife at Myakka State Park today. There were few birds and they were fairly inactive. Even though it is mating season for the alligators, they too were just soaking up the beautiful weather and enjoying the day. On the drive out of the park, we spotted a mother dear and her doe. We quickly jumped out of the car and managed to get a shot before it went scurrying after the mom. I was fortunate to find this and be able to take a photo.
What inspires a photographer? My journey began
taking product photos for my business. I had a
company that provided fashionable headscarves to
women and girls with medical hair loss. Photos needed
to be updated constantly and the expense of a
photographer led me to my first camera about 5 years
ago. I’ve since sold the company but my love for
photography has continued to grow. I’m constantly
looking for new places, people, food, new colors – just
about anything and everything appeals to me through
my lens. Suddenly light shapes, colors, textures,
people, buildings, trees, flowers…. everything around
me looks different when I start to see the world as a
photographer.
For me, an image captures
more emotion than your native eye or a written word. Lingering on images that I
have taken and reliving the scene, person or thing is like reading my favorite
story over and over again only with the benefit of a visual companion. I love to
study the light and the composition and see how I can tell the story through the
lens. Everyday objects can be exciting when I think of them as capturing a
moment in time. Once I started to notice details I realized there was beauty all
around me. My photography allows me to share my perspective with others; it
allows me to tell my story and for that I am grateful. As the lens opens to capture
an image, so do my eyes.
