Discovering myself

I have been really working hard on photography now that it's fall. Something about turning 30 that tells me I now know who I am...and I finally like it. My new home is bringing out the creative side of me and I love it.

I pulled out my old photography book to take notes and I found final pictures from my class. After looking at them, it brings me back to that time...when I was there, taking the photo. I'm talking about the feeling you get when you look at a picture and can remember the exact feel in the air and the moment when time stood still long enough for you to capture that image.

I am talking about how a picture can make you smile..or cry..or feel love. Something more than just a portrait. This is what I yearn to create.

My hobby is now becoming a reality...I am an artist because I love it. It's the only thing that is me, besides my family.  Do you remember say you wanted to be something when were little? Well, I do. I wanted to be a cowgirl and then a princess for a short amount of time...not an artist. But... the seriousness has just recently hit me. I am working towards being an photographic artist and I will be known as Simple Beauty...and my goal is to try hard to capture what is really simple beauty...
