When you're busy behind the camera, you're too busy for everything else

I'm back.

You may not have noticed that I was gone, but if anyone did, I feel like I owe you an explanation. There's been a lot going on and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I was also lacking in inspiration and found myself posting press releases more often than I would like.

What have I been up to? I went to Hawaii, rented some fantastic gear, shot with some amazing photographers, found some inspiration and lost it again, read a lot more than I intended to, learned a few tricks, attended a couple of weddings (one more this weekend), helped a few people buy their first DSLR and showed off some gear that can really solve a few problems.

I'll go into all of that and more over the next few months, but right now, I want to leave you with one important lesson that I learned: photography doesn't have to be hard. Every shot you take doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to capture a moment in time. The snapshot you took at your cousin's birthday party, the landscape from your vacation that's hanging on your wall, the self-pic you took last night at the bar. They're all part of photography. It can be art, but it doesn't have to be.

That said, I try to take the best pictures I can. Until next week, happy shooting!
