Appreciate Photo Opportunities as They Happen

Photo Title: Archangel Wing
Whether you are flowing or ebbing when it comes to finding no pressure photo opportunities, I've found that learning to appreciate photo opportunities as they happen is a great way to make taking photos not only fun but also pressure free. This is one of my all time favorite photos and after I finished playing with it, I made sure to appreciate it by realizing that the same exact feeling I had after I finished it isn't likely to be repeated again.
 I know that it tends to be human nature to try to recapture what we once felt or had. However I've found that letting go of this tendency is one of the keys to not only being a little happier but also to finding more no pressure photo opportunities.

About Me

Gentily almost facilely I'm roused from my sleep. The enigmatic cause of this effect inspires wonder in me every morning. The unspoken almost indiscernable feeling immediately puts me in a state of awe. Not another moment goes by until my mind begins absorbing the images or the feeling of colors that danced behind my now open eyes not too long ago.

The feeling of awe disipates as I fill my day with less meaningful activities. Every action taken without thought, every unfelt smile and empty conversation I comply to vexatiously chips away a piece of myself. The seemingly insignificant and ordinary things in life rouses another discernable feeling that sharpens my mind and makes me feel awake again. Whimsically I share my thoughts and experiences with others hoping to rouse them from sleep with the unexpected beauty I found. Repeatedly I am left feeling misplaced and misunderstood before I finally cultivated that art of listening. Shortly afterwards I embrace and eventually value the idea of being a mystery to others.
