Finding Our Stillness

“Love what you do and do what you love. Don't listen to anyone else who tells you not to do it. You do what you want, what you love.” ~ Ray Bradbury

This morning, as I was out with my camera, I saw a simple moment that reminded me just how important it is to hold on to what brings you peace.  A man fishing alone on the pier — no rush, no noise, just him and the quiet rhythm of the water.

And I thought… that’s it. That’s what this is for him — the same way photography is for me.

It’s not about catching the biggest fish or getting the most likes. It’s about doing what speaks to your soul.

Every day, I try to find some small gem to capture — a flash of light, a quiet corner, a moment that might be missed. That’s where I feel like myself again, where I breathe a little deeper, and life slows down just enough for me to see.

We all have something that helps us connect — with ourselves, with the world, with others. For me, it’s through the lens. For him, it’s a cast line . But in the end, we’re all just trying to find those few moments that make us feel alive.
