My Journey of Passion Part 3

Photography is exciting... especially to those who are passionate about it, turning nature's light and subjects into images that give the mind a framed and rich display, often with emotional connections and a deeper understanding of life.

Passion and excitement are the raw ingredients that fuel brilliance in many forms of art, sports and professions. In order to keep that fire burning I constantly look for ways to keep my own interests alive.  I find joy in life and power in my work. I never have drag myself out of bed, I am always happy to enjoy another day on the planet, another day to keep that fire burning and discover new things.

If you are truly interested in "seeing", there's no limit to what you can take in... for example: Walk through a crowd on a busy city street and see inspiration in every passing face, every shift of sunlight, and every angle of the cityscape. Always seeking new vision allows you to be creative and we can all cultivate that vision in every day life... you don't have to be a photographer to admire and enjoy the show amazing nature puts on for us.

In this day and age, there are no excuses not to take photos if you see something that catches your eye. Digital cameras have no negative consequences (Keith says I almost made a joke with that statement... lol), fill your memory card and always keep a spare one handy. The more photos you take, the bigger the selection of photos to choose from and you might be pleasantly surprised when you download the images.

Having the freedom to take photos any time of the day or any day of the week is a blessing and something I do not take for granted... It provides me with the ultimate freedom... I have the freedom of possibilities that never run out. Nature, places and people are always there gracing us with their beauty, for photographers and artists we are always looking for the extraordinary in the mundane.


Photography - a wordless medium of expression, a silent arena that has a visual voice.  
"Skill in photography is acquired by practice and not by purchase". – Percy W. Harris
Photography from the Greek (phos), meaning "light", and (graphê), meaning "drawing, writing", together meaning "drawing with light". 

Thank you for reading my Blog, please leave some feedback, it will help me learn and improve...

Children are such wonderful subjects to photograph, they do not worry whether they have their make-up on, or if their hair is brushed, they are natural and so beautiful...

A bright sunny day and lots of colours... a great recipe for a photo... or some would say for a drink...

Cardboard Cathedral Christchurch.  A-Frame in style, rising 78 feet (24 m) in height, the Cathedral rises 70 feet (21 m) above the altar. Materials used in its construction include 2 feet (0.61 m) diameter cardboard tubes, timber and steel. The roof is of polycarbon, and is held up by eight shipping containers which form the walls. The foundation is concrete slab.

Standing on a vacant piece of ground in the heart of Christchurch where a church once stood, 185 white chairs represent each of the 185 lives lost in the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. Each chair, just like its owner, has its own personality, with the installation including armchairs, dining room chairs, a wheel chair, and even a baby capsule. The 185 square metres of grass that the chairs sit on represents new growth and regeneration... The artist’s statement poetically reminds us all that the ‘installation is temporary – as is life’.
