Why do I do what I do? Never has it been for riches nor do I pour my time and energy into my work for fame and glory. Odds are that few will ever know my name or my work. Yet the pursuit of the image is an unquenchable fire within me. Yet the question remains.....why? I could list a multitude of reasons from the love of the art to just being out there among nature. To be completely honest though, my biggest reason is to have the unparalleled privilege to inspire someone to go out there. There are very few experiences in this life that come close to knowing that you as a person doing what you love to do have influenced another human being. Pushed them to go further, helped them see the world differently.....what a feeling! Art is a voice that speaks louder than those who speak with hate. Art is love and love will not be conquered. I do this because I love the power and immense responsibility that photography brings. It is an honor and a privilege to be out there and all in the hopes that what I capture and share will push someone to go see it for themselves, to care for this beautiful world. Seeing this letter in the latest issue of @encinitasmag made my life. After 20 years of shooting if this is the only validation I ever get I would count it a life worth living and a career worth pursuing. It's all I have ever wanted...... #california #encinitas #encinitasmag #encinitascoastlife #sanelijoconservancy #sanelijolagoon #nature #wildlife #grateful #worthit #nikonusa #fluxphoto #fluxphotography #socal #conservation

HOLY BEAUTIFUL LIGHT BATMAN!! Wow! What a difference yesterday was from Tuesday! Earlier in the week I was shooting at the lagoon but had overcast conditions, shooting in such conditions is relatively easy. The light is smooth and even...but it has no mood, no guts. Yesterday the difference was unbelievable, unhindered by cloud cover the full power of sunsets golden light came blazing through. The landscape was bathed in gorgeous golden light. The kind of light that transforms, emotes and communicates. The kind of light that lets you capture one frame and yet it's story could fill an entire book. Here a tale of strong versus weak, of hoarding and defiance of struggle and survival all of it there in perfect frozen detail. It's all etched in every part of the frame from foreground to background, from golden colors to blue, between water droplets and feathers lights never ending poem about our beautiful world right before my eyes. Earlier I posted a photo of American Avocets chasing off another fighting for a good feeding spot. The photo wasn't bad but how it pales in comparison to this, this is the story that I'm always relentlessly trying to capture. It's moments like this that get burned into my memory and into my heart. How lucky am I?! How lucky are WE?! To have such beauty so close to us, to have such moments of the struggle to survive unfolding before our very eyes. Get out and enjoy it! #california #encinitas #encinitasmag #encinitascoastlife #sanelijoconservancy #sanelijolagoon #amazing #reallyrightstuff #MyRRS #americanavocet #struggle #survival #wildlife #birds #nature #natgeo #natgeoyourshot #nikonusa #d5 #600mmsniper #fluxphoto #fluxphotography #sunset #goldenhour #socal #spring
