. Welcome to my world...and while Instagram brings us virtually near, it brings its advertisement sponsors even closer to our bank accounts. Funny they should use our love this way. .. Who and what is ever true in this world except for God Al- mighty and a mother’s love? .

Ansel Adams believed that photographs aren't taken; they are made. I try to keep that in mind every time I go out to shoot. Admittedly though sometimes it's easy to just go into auto pilot; to just sort of shoot without a lot of thought. On the one hand it feels good that some of it has become second nature. But on the other I also want to stay present, in the moment. To think about every setting, to make every decision intentional. This particular photograph was one of those moments. It was inspired by a photo I "took." The first was ok, but the settings weren't right, and photo wasn't great. But there was still something about it I loved, and I wanted to get it right. So almost a month later I went back to the river with the sole purpose of "making" this image. It may not be the best photo I've ever taken, but for the fact that I was so present, so aware, every decision made so that I could create the image I had in my head, I'm pretty proud of it. | #rappahannock #fxbgriverlove #lovefxbg #fredericksburgva #fxbgva #fredgramming #visitfred #loveva #virginiaisbeautiful #virginiaoutdoors #naturalvirginia #visitvirginia #scenicvirginia #exploreva #neverstopexploring #exploremore #stayandwander #roamtheplanet #nakedplanet #earthpix #landscape #landscape_lovers #landscapephotography #downbytheriver #hikeeveryday #hikemoreworryless #longexposure #makephotos

Throwback to a winter beach and my beloved Pentax K1000, which was my first 35mm camera, the one I sent to @bleakhouse.london and one I recommend if you join us on our course LEARN TO SHOOT ON FILM. The simple things really are the best, aren’t they?

As I told you, I spent yesterday teaching a group of veterans from the @armedservicesartspartnership about photography. It was a super fun, intensely rewarding but supremely exhausting day. We had veterans there who were dealing with TBI, with combat injuries, with PTSD, with the after effects of grief from suicide and other loss. All looking to the arts to channel their experience and brighten their spirit. As people started opening up during our introductions, I let the time spin out, realizing that we were there as much to be together as to learn about composing good photos. In the end, we did both. Shared impactful, personal stories and learned a bit about how to look at the world through the lens of a camera. It was a powerful day, and the security guard ultimately had to kick us out.

What it made me realize is that in so many ways, photography is often the side product for me. When @bleakhouse.london and I offer a workshop or a course, like FEAST or LEARN TO SHOOT ON FILM or her amazing experiences coming up in Devon or Pembrokeshire later this spring, it’s about building a community. Creating a space for people to be together and feel inspired. To connect with each other and with themselves, even if it’s just for a little while. #shotonfilm #onlyconnect
