How Does Your Muse Speak Through You?

Morning Therapy.

What is it that would have a healthy, reasonably sound person get up at zero-dark-thirty, grab a tripod and camera and head out in sub freezing temperatures just to get the shot at the right time in the right light? Show me someone who always seems to have a camera, giving-living-with purpose and I’ll show you someone making a difference.

I received an email from a friend of mine the other day. In his email he pointed me to a website and blog he created for his newborn baby. The site is filled with pictures and blog entries from his 11 week old baby’s point of view. Its wonderful. I was so inspired by the sense of love and family that was shared through the images that my whole mood lifted for the day.

I have another friend who moved to California a few years ago. She stays in touch with me almost on a daily basis. The pictures that she sends me, whether its through email or simply her cell phone, always reminds me that no matter how far apart we are physically we can still be close emotionally.

These are wonderful times that we live in. Photography is a universal language that can touch, move and inspire people all over the world in an instant. Photographing, giving-living - with purpose. It inspires. Clarifies. Motivates.

Just keep shooting.

Namasté,

Michael
