I've been reading John Muir's "...Kevin,<br />I've been reading John Muir's "The Yosemite" this week, including this afternoon, and going to each place in the park in my "mind's eye". Your stunning photos from this recent trip elevate my soul, lift my spirit. Your writing about waiting for light on an occasional waterfall off El Capitan is such a lovely entry, and reveals the beauty of our lives, waiting for glory, when all around us are scenes of wonder and goodness (such as the family providing the 2 mile taxi service!).Pastor David Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17285597609188147990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3645981352737217483.post-4999741525420834842011-02-27T12:07:46.592-08:002011-02-27T12:07:46.592-08:00A great post, Kevin. I had written to you long ago...A great post, Kevin. I had written to you long ago about Rainier, but I haven't been back in over a year and am now living in Michigan. <br /><br />Suffice to say that the natural scenery here isn't quite as "elevationally majestic" as it is out west, but last October I came to the same conclusion -- 'Sometimes those of us who do this for a living need to be reminded why we took this up in the first place.' I certainly don't do this for a living (I've never made a single cent off any of my pictures), but part of the beauty of photography is being able to capture the small details that are otherwise overlooked. (This is, without a doubt, my biggest challenge -- I live for the solitary moments, but without a doubt there is a possible subject in each area of the country whether it's in a mountain or in a twig.)<br /><br />That you as a professional photographer shared this sentiment, and dare I say admission, is a humble and timely reminder (thank you, in other words) that the picture isn't always just about the process or just about the novelty... that sometimes it's just about how big the world is around us.tigerotor77whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15219549984401782445noreply@blogger.com
