I am home, back in California from my trip abroad.  I am ready and eager to create and dig into 2013.  Life is meant to be lived; good, bad and ugly, these things make life richer, deeper and bring a new appreciation for concepts never considered before.  I’ll take it all. I am thankful and know that I am blessed to be where I am, see what I have seen and have the opportunities that I do.   I have the desire to create, to make beautiful and evocative images.  I am in awe that I get to give myself the title photographer and am honored with the opportunity to photograph someone’s wedding day or attempt to capture someone’s essence in a photograph.  Through my travels I saw how imagery affects cultures, changes history, molds perceptions and exposes truth, because of these things we both love and hate photos.  What we see is sometimes what we want and sometimes what we don’t want; it can be either a breath of fresh air or a rude awakening.  Shall we not be honest with ourselves and comfortable in our own skin?  When do we start to live a life of being genuine to ourselves?  This is my goal resolution for 2013.: To live a genuine life, to love freely, find joy wherever it may be and be comfortable in my own skin.  What is your resolution for 2013?
