The “Calling”.
It was not so much a calling, but a revelation. It was a revelation that happened along my journey in photography.
Many start careers in photography as wedding photographers, only to move on into other areas of photography in a short period of time. Fewer start photography careers in other areas of photography to move into wedding photography at a much later date.
I entered commercial photography with the intent of not becoming a wedding photographer. However my journey years later reveled to me exactly what I am very good at doing, and enjoy emensly. Doing things like photographing people in their environment, when they are at their happiest and full of emotion, during life changing fluid events such as weddings.
The short of it is that wedding photography has brought me back to my photographic roots. You know… “Where IT all started to begin with”.
One of my desires as a creative person is also to leave something for others that matter to them. Do you realize that the one thing in common with people returning to recover from a natural disaster is to gather up their surviving photographs!
