Beautiful Light

I think everyone at one point or another has found themselves thinking that the light at a certain place in time was beautiful. And since photography is an art of creating images with light, I am teaching myself to be ultra-sensitive to seeing and recognizing what that light looks like and how to best capture that with a camera. And recently there was a time when I was walking up the porch to house with my son late in the afternoon and we both experienced this light I am referring to now. I stopped and said to him, “see this light, it’s beautiful isn’t it?”, he said, “yes, it is”. So I asked him to wait right there and we would take his picture with his Karate Gi on. As you can see from the pictures below, we did just that. Just as my son practices his Karate, I do my best to practice my photography. To encourage myself to keep that creative edge as sharp as possible. So in this webpage, I will talk about my quest for seeing what I think is beautiful light and practicing the art of photography.
