Sat Morning Sunrise

What a great morning it was... I got up and went down to 'The Point' again this morning to shoot the sunrise... and once again I was not disappointed...

The only sound heard this morning was the waves coming ashore... it was so peaceful.. then Eastern sky begin to turn a bright orange... and then the Sun broke the horizon. Within a minute of this it was over... the Sun was up and the sunrise for today was over-- never to be repeated or seen again.

When people ask me "Why do I get up so early?"... I just smile at them and say "If you only knew what you were missing"...

For me my photography is much more than merely going out and shooting a lot of pictures and hoping I've got one good one.. This is my art it's a part of me-- I put thought in every shot , not all of them turn out the way I envisioned them sometimes, but it's just not a point and shoot thing for me.  When you see one of my pictures you are seeing a part of my very soul.  This is my passion-- my escape from the day to day work load. 

It was very quiet at The Point this morning... sometimes this can be a good thing and at others it can sound like thunder (the quiet) ... Think about it... and I hope you can't understand this statement.. 

If I had to rate this morning from 1-10 it would be a 10+.... God's beauty is everywhere and He has given me the chance to see it and to stop time if only for 1/800 of a second here in this picture... for this short time -- time did stand still. 

Where has the time gone?

I'm not sure where my time goes, but it sure goes by fast.  How long has it been since I've written here? To long that's for sure or maybe it's just because I've got nothing really to say lately. 

Last weekend I shot pictures at Camp Bluebird and as always I had a good time.  Other than that all I've been shooting is the sunrise over my backyard.  At times I feel like I'm missing out on something, but I'm just not one to pick up and go by myself.  I would love to go to the mountains at this time of the year and shoot the trees... or at least I think I would.  It would be my luck I would get up there and not shoot a thing.  I dropped out of the camera club... like everything else everyone had their own little click and that was it.... no room for an outsider...

Now we're coming up on Thanksgiving and Christmas... and I'm not really looking forward to it.  It's not one of my best times... I'll be off from work a good bit and sitting around here is as much fun as watching grass grow. 

I may get myself a big Christmas gift... I keep thinking about.. I sure would like the have the Canon 5D Mark II.  If I could get paid for the Sept wedding I may order it, but it looks like I've been had again.. well not as bad as it has been in the past... but still pretty bad.  I also did a Senior shoot a couple of weeks ago.. very pretty young lady... I hope she liked the pictures.. I wish I could hear something... 'the pictures were good','the pictures sucked' -- just something... I need to know how people feel about my work... Wish I could go back to school and take some classes... but the only photo classes around here are not what I'm looking for.... I'll just keep trying and see what turns up I guess.
