After several hours in the valley, the wind and mountain air wash away my day-to-day concerns.

I breathe deep as I climb the trail. Free from haste and competition at last, each step I take and

each frame I shoot draw me closer to my true creative self.

That’s when I see this woman, hair whipped by the wind, standing there as if she had been

waiting for me to arrive.

Through observation and measured contemplation, I interpret the scene and camera settings

on my own.

I am the photographer, not the camera.

With my ﬁngers on the controls, my ideas and my photography connect more meaningfully.

So now I walk slowly, once again relishing each and every frame.
