Passion is such an overused term in our society. It is in everyone’s bio piece (whether they even have it or not) and every leadership book on the shelf. But I’m not sure if it is really understood until it is lived in a “passion moment.” What is a passion moment you ask? Well, I’m not quite sure how to put all the words together to describe it, but you know it when you feel it. I had one the other day.
I drove the backroads (which I find myself doing often) up to help out my aunt who lives in Placerville and I saw this amazing tree. I knew that on the way home the sun would be at a perfect spot for an awesome photograph. So on the way home I pulled the car over and clicked a few frames. This was the first frame that I took and the one that was in my head all day before coming back to this spot. I was so excited about it, so stoked to make this photograph and so passionate about photography at this moment.
To all photographers (pros and amateurs alike) out there, make sure you take a camera with you sometimes and just shoot for fun. Enjoy.
