Question: If I were to make a video tutorial, what would you want to learn from me? Please leave your suggestions below.

This was taken at Great Falls park in the autumn time.

Want to hear something funny? Or at least I think it’s funny.

Typically I’m a pretty calm, laid back person. I’m a slow walker and I like to take my time doing things. The other day, Andrew told me that the only time he ever sees me rush is when I’m out taking pictures. I thought that was hilarious because it’s so true. ESPECIALLY if there’s good light. The sun don’t wait for nobody so you gotta grab your camera and go!

This was taken last night at Great Falls park. A great example of a time where I had to rush.

I took this image a few years ago. I don’t remember the exact date but I do remember what I was thinking while I was taking it.

First, I remember it being really cold and freezing my butt of on a rock with my camera and tripod. Second, I remember being obsessed with the light. But I think at that time I didn’t know why or what about it that I loved so much. I just remember being so hypnotized that I couldn’t even blink, you know the kind where you just keep on staring and staring. You know that you need to turn away, but you just can’t.

And then when I got home I didn’t like the image. I think it was because I didn’t know how to edit it properly to what I saw. Now that some years have passed and I’ve gotten better at post processing that I can now accurately depict the amazing flow of water, light and rhythms crashing in front of me. I loves it and it’s crazy how just looking at an image can bring back so many emotions.

I have to be honest. I’ve already started hibernating for the winter. It’s been so cold out lately. I hardly want to go outside and get the mail, let alone take Frankie out on a walk. Anyone else experiencing the same?

Another one from the other night. This one was right before sunset and the sun was shining directly on the trees in Maryland. I had never seen the trees glow so red before. I instantly felt like I was in the Southwest somewhere.

It’s been a long while since Ive visited Great Falls Park. I don’t know why, I just all of the sudden stopped going. So I thought it was time to go back. I went straight to my favorite spot. Its close to the water where the Kayakers take off from. Can you believe people kayak down this? And even in November, you can still see them going up and down the water. I imagine it to be really cold. I can only imagine cuz you won’t catch me in there.
