25 years of passion

Posted September 30th, 2010 by Kevin with No Comments

Plainly stated I am a very passionate man. I always have been. I’m passionate about the smallest things in my life but one thing I am very passionate about is my photography. I have always, at least for as far back as I can remember, been surrounded by cameras. My mother loved taking pictures and even though she’s very modest about her skills I think she has an eye for composition and it shaped my photographic life more than anyone. That is why I think photography has a very special place in my heart.



It’s not the camera, it’s what’s behind the camera.

Chase Jarvis has it right when he says “The best camera is the one that’s with you“. I’m often asked what kind of camera I shoot with. I tell them I shoot with professional Canon cameras and lenses and their response is almost always “Well that’s why you can take such good pictures”. I take good pictures because I practice all the time and take the time to study the craft. Equipment is part of the equation but practice and technique are the cornerstone of good photography. There is so many times where taking my $5,000 SLR camera with me is either not practical or just plain scares the crap out of me so I carry either a point and shoot or my iPhone 4. I tell people that it’s not the camera that makes a good photograph but the photograph itself that makes the image memorable. Some of my favorite photos came from the worst cameras two nickles could buy.
