Today while out with the kids i decided i wanted to "just take photos". Didn't want to worry about all the "technical" aspects of photography. So, i turned my "in camera b&w" on. Didn't need to worry about "lighting" as it was a cloudy day. No thinking involved, just find the beauty around me. Below is a few from my adventure today. I am so happy with these and myself for letting go and just being... Continue reading

I'm not quite sure how to put it in words. I feel like we all have kindred spirits. Ones we meet, ones we know and those we will never meet but always be connected.
