Yesterday, I finally got that photo. The one that gave me the chills. The one that spoke to me viscerally and felt timeless. It's satisfying. It's in large part why I do photography. Not for popularity but as an art...as a way of expression and cataloging and being inspired by our world. It motivates me to chase that next great poetic moment of these beautiful animals.
