Favorite part of photography? Out west collection.

Photography truly has the power to capture and preserve the essence of culture, allowing others to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation. By peering through the lens, you can uncover hidden stories, traditions and unique aspects that might otherwise go unnoticed. It's like a window into worlds that are both familiar and unfamiliar. It really has helped teach me how to be present and to be able to see through a totally different perspective.

What is your favorite thing about photography or what has it taught you?

Good questions. I find it hard to narrow it down to one aspect but here goes; I like to take nature photos. A trip to a local mountain stream found bugs crawling on the trail, flowering weeds, leaves in various stages of returning back to the soil. The classic was a snail rushing across dead leaves. Obviously, it had a destination, if snails have destinations.

Oh wow, what makes you curious in these moments that seem to be transitional. Are you curious in how it all works together? the colors?

That I need to bring a chair along. Let me explain, I am disabled because of a few car accidents so often times I rush because of pain, if I have a chair along I do not have to stand which is the one thing that hurts me more than anything. When I am not in pain I take much better time with my compositions and it clearly shows.

I am trying to see things in a more artistic light, I am a straight forward get it done everything is black and white kind of person and I have to try to see things from other perspectives to see shots where I do not normally see shots. An open gate that I just walked by another photographer I was with got a very nice artistic shot and I never even saw it. Of course I was making a beeline for a waterfall but still I should have seen it. I have to get better at that.

Anything related to technical aspects. The more technical, the better. Some specific examples I have enjoyed over the years:

Labeling custom speedlite gels with transmission loss values to help compute what power to set flashes to when switching out gels.
Establishing nodal points for lenses in order to take panoramas without parallax.
Measuring light loss in all my light modifiers.

The colors and emotions that the photographer conveys through his work fascinate me. I like photos in which you can see life as it is seen in reality. Also some of the details of this world captured on camera can be a great reflection and realization. I'm talking about parts of the world like ice cube vector or different details like a logo or avatar of some account. That is, not the whole photo, but a small part of it.
