After my Father passed away my Mum was alone for many years. She had been with my Dad since she was 16 so she never thought she would meet someone else to fall in love with. She lived in a lovely town in the mountains and had a few friends there and one of them was a man who she and my father were neighbours and friends with when I was a teenager. They bumped into each other many years later and he told her his wife had passed away. They began seeing each other and fell in love. He told my Mum that if it wasn't for finding her and sharing their love that he would not still be alive today. This was a photo taken the day before they got married.Editing

Feel the beauty, passion and emotion in what you are shooting not just point and shoot. Don't just look at something and take a photo, truly see it and study it and find ways to capture what it really is and what the object or person is all about. Dare to be different and creative with everything you point your camera at. I love the way I see the world through my eyes and I try to capture that to show others. Experiment with your camera and lenses and with editing and see what you can create by taking time to play with the images.
