Once you start looking at all that is around you at any given point in space and time, as a photographer, you begin to see endless photographic subject matter possibilities in almost everything. Some of my favorite creative photos were taken on days when I felt there was “nothing to shoot” until I started looking deeper.

Light and Shadows
A morning of light and shadows at Big Bend
I was on a morning drive at Big Bend National Park in West Texas when I took this image. I saw the day breaking in my rearview mirror so pulled over, got out of the car, and looking back, watched as the light and shadow patterns began changing how the road, mountains, and clouds appeared with each passing moment. It was not long before the low angle of the morning light that created the long shadows and stark contrast in this picture became less acute until the scene was fully lit and it felt as if the world before me had finally awakened. What I love about still photography is how it can capture a short and passing moment in time and hold it forever to be experienced at will, time and again. This one always gives me a feeling of peace and calm.
