It s an insatiable thirst. I love the rush I get when I photograph a breath-taking sunset or capture a magnificent bird in flight. My photography must have a Purpose . There has to be a method to my madness . By setting both short term and long term goals, I am able to focus on where I want to be as a photographer not just next month but ten years down the road from now.
Goals are dreams put in writing.
Too often, we photographers forget about one of the most important aspects of wildlife and nature photography - Preparation . Not only must I have a complete understanding of my camera equipment and use proper technique, I must also have a thorough understanding of my subject s biology in its natural environment. This knowledge is essential. I increase my odds of capturing excellent images when I have done my homework and am confident of my understanding of proper photographic techniques. Simply said, I will not give up my dreams, I will not quit, no matter how great the odds are or how long it takes, I will succeed.
