Nature and Landscape Photography
I’ve traveled so many gravel roads to find the perfect shot. No this is not the perfect shot but you just don’t see this everyday. I’m so inspired by creative people. That’s why I’m turning it over to you to add a funny caption here This photograph of this old barn was taken in Iowa.

All artists are self-taught
Techniques and skill and even a point of view are often handed down, formally or not. It’s easier to get started if you’re taught, of course.
But art, the new, the ability to connect the dots and to make an impact–sooner or later, that can only come from one who creates, not from a teacher and not from a book. “Seth Godin”
I have learned so many things in the last 4 years selling my art in galleries and art shows.
1. Have an open mind.
2. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.
3. Don’t ever think you have it figured out.
4. Always try to better people’s lives.
I have not sold a 911 image in 2 years until yesterday. 911 was shot on 9/11/09 in La Jolla, California.
