I can remember flipping though the pages of National Geographic admiring the great photographs all the while trying to visualize what it would be like to lead the life of an adventurous nature photographer. Although I may have started a career in photography later in life than most people, my dreams are still very much alive. However, being successful in this very competitive market requires a lot more than just going out and taking a few pictures. In order to become the best photographer I can be, I have devised what I refer to as the Four P s of Success Passion, Purpose, Preparation and Perseverance. To me, Passion is the key ingredient to being successful.
Passion is defined as a dedication or strong desire for some activity, object or concept .
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.
