Letting the eye and the camera lead the way instead of a timeframe or outcome. It feels like the more natural way to shoot. Capturing pictures as they happen without direction from the photographer. Observing rather than manipulating. Not using the camera to sell something for once. Instead, using it as a different type of tool. The ultimate tool.<\/p>\n<p>One that gives a day meaning, releasing the mind, and fills the creative soul. <\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pulled from my files this summer.
